 Dulaang UP’s "Nanay Bangis" Premieres This November 2024

Written by Camille Ann Fabian, John Patric Honre Sazon, CJ Junio, and Jericho Igdanes

Dulaang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas (Dulaang UP) is thrilled to launch its 47th theater season with Nanay Bangis, running from November 15 to December 1, 2024. Directed by J. William Herbert Sigmund Go and adapted by Rody Vera from Bertolt Brecht’s acclaimed Mother Courage and Her Children, Nanay Bangis tells the compelling story of a mother who endures great loss amid the 1971-1981 conflict between the MNLF and the Philippine army.

This DUP CLASSICS production brings together esteemed UP alumni—now respected theater professionals—and promising new talents from the University’s theater program. Leading the cast is Ge Malacaman Villamil as Nanay Bangis, with Air Paz, Rona Rostata, and Fred Layno. J. William Herbert Sigmund Go, former Artistic Director of Tanghalang Pilipino and co-founder of Virgin Labfest, returns to Dulaang UP as both director and mentor, offering guidance to a new generation of theater artists.

Dulaang UP was founded in 1976 by National Artist Tony Mabesa and serves as the production arm of the UP Department of Speech Communication and Theatre Arts. This season, subtitled Amihan at Habagat, explores themes of political and ecological challenges facing Filipinos today, drawing parallels to the unpredictable forces of the amihan and habagat winds. Productions this season emphasize the dynamic push and pull at the heart of the Philippines’ most critical issues.

Bridging tradition and innovation, the season introduces two banners: DUP CLASSICS, which celebrates established works, and DUP INNOVATE, highlighting original and experimental theater pieces.
