Raco Ruiz Mounts Fourth Solo Exhibit, No Worrys, at Secret Fresh

Multi-purpose artist Raco Ruiz returns with his fourth solo exhibit, NO WORRYS , running from July 27 to August 8 at Secret Fresh Gallery. Known for his signature blend of pop culture and personal storytelling, Raco introduces a new series anchored by his original character Razzl the Clown– now joined by a dopamine-dependent dalmatian named Dopa. Following the success of 2024’s CLOWNRRY , where Razzl first appeared, NO WORRYS puts the soft-spoken clown front and center. This time, Razzl confronts real-world worries: fear of failure, burnout, comparison, and the quiet loneliness that creeps in even when surrounded by noise. But there’s no dramatic unraveling here. Razzl walks through each piece with a quiet sort of resilience– a space to sit with discomfort and the calm that follows. “Razzl is pretty much a caricature of the anxious side of myself,” Raco shares. “He’s introverted, secretly anxious most times, tries his best to be hopeful, and always aims to please.” That’s what makes N...

Teatro Pinas | Kaliwaan: Pinter’s Betrayal, Stripped Bare in a Guelan Varela-Luarca Translation this August

  This August, Kaliwaan , a Filipino translation of Harold Pinter’s modern classic Betrayal , comes to life on the Philippine stage in a gripping new production by Stages Production Specialists, Inc. and co-presented by MusicArtes, Inc. Translated by Guelan Varela-Luarca and directed by internationally acclaimed director Loy Arcenas, Kaliwaan explores the quiet devastation of relationships fractured by longing, silence, and memory. Kaliwaan traces the emotional fallout of a seven-year affair between a woman and her husband’s best friend. As the story rewinds, audiences are pulled deeper into a world where trust fades, love is negotiated, and desire comes at a cost. The play asks: what truths do we hide to keep the love we think we deserve? Starring three of Philippine theater’s finest actors—Missy Maramara as Emma, Ron Capinding as Robert, and Nor Domingo as Jerry—Kaliwaan presents a portrait of intimacy and betrayal that is as quiet as it is brutal. Under the direction of Loy Arce...

Wolf Alice return with brand new single ‘The Sofa’

  Generational British band Wolf Alice share new single, ‘ The Sofa ’ - another dimension to their highly anticipated fourth studio album The Clearing confirmed for release on August 22nd. Following a triumphant return to the stage with headlining festival performances at Primavera - where they unveiled ‘The Sofa’ for one of the first times, had thousands singing along - and a history-defining Glastonbury set on home soil, this new era announces Wolf Alice as a band who are in a league entirely of their own.  The Sofa’ Artwork ‘The Sofa’ is the album’s psychological portrait which is a microcosm of the wider themes it reckons with: falling in love with your life for exactly what it is and finally letting go of unrealised dreams without shame, guilt or disappointment as you grow older. Unspooling like a daydream on an idle afternoon, ‘The Sofa’ is a piano ballad fortified by the best songwriting of Ellie Rowsell’s career - radical in its unflinching honesty. “ Didn’t make it...
