ALL PERFORMANCES

2039

71 years after its original publication, 1984 is no longer a prophecy; it’s now our headline. In “2039,” two decades after our present, truth has become mutilated, cyberspace weaponized, and power abused. In the totalitarian province of Ma-Yi (a country not called the Philippines), Winston Santos decides to revolt by staging the greatest form of rebellion — falling in love.

Tapahoho

"This modern retelling of a classic folktale revolves around the class officers of IV Matapat as they turn a blind eye against the truth for the sake of their pride and reputation. Beginning with the case of a stolen cash box, a relatively tame issue transforms into a web of deceit and lies as the officers find themselves in compromising situations that force them to choose between the truth and their personal gain."

Balay Dolor

What was once a reformatory school renowned for a cycle of abuse and repression that miraculously transforms wayward boys into morally upstanding young men, is now reduced to a lone priest and three unhinged juveniles. Then, in walks the priest’s prodigal brother, a career criminal, accompanied by the 10 plagues of Egypt. The confrontations that erupt force all five to question their relationships with penitence, with one another, and with the institution struggling to put them in their place.

Lamon Babae

Lamon-Babae is an online play inspired by the myth of one of the Philippines’ most fearsome creatures — the Manananggal. Set in the 17th Century, the story revolves around the origins of the Manananggal, questioning the perception of her as a monster. “Lamon-Babae” aims to push to the forefront women’s power to reclaim their freedom and agency, and the solidarity among survivors of oppression.

Makbetamaximus.45

"Ang ikalawang bahagi naman ay isang bagong rap musical ""Pakbet da Muzikal ang aming M.45. Isang kusinero ang sumubok lupigin ang kaniyang mga karibal para sa pagmamay-ari ng sang karinderya sa mundo ng tokhang, drugs, fake news, at social media. Sa ilalim ng pinakamahabang lockdown sa buong mundo, ang aming mga aktor ay kulong sa kanilang mga bahay. Ang rehearsals, rap coaching at acting coaching sessions ay online sa zoom. Teatro pa rin: may mga na-aksidente, may mga late, may hadlang sa pag-upload ng videos dahil sa mabagal na internet. Ang makeup at kasuotan? Hanggang video tutorial lang ang kayang iabot ng designers. Sariling sikap ang mga aktor sa pagshoot gamit ang kanilang mga cellphone cameras. Pelikula pa ba ito? O teatro? O isang hybrid na patuloy ang interogasyon sa anyo at istruktura ng sining? Ito na ba ang kinabukasan? O isang fever dream na panakip-butas habang hinintay ang pagbabalik sa entablado? Ano man ang sagot, sinubukan namin."
