As its first offering for its 47th theatre season, the Dulaang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas (DUP) stages Nanay Bangis, a Rody Vera adaptation of Bertolt Brecht’s Mother Courage and Her Children.
According to DUP, Nanay Bangis “tells the story of a mother who loses her children to the conflict between the MNLF [Moro National Liberation Front] and the Philippine army from 1971 to 1981.”
The play directed by J. William Herbert Sigmund Go features Ge Malacaman Villamil as Nanay Bangis together with Air Paz, Rona Rostata, and Fred Layno.
DUP’s 47th theatre season, Amihan at Habagat, “looks into how Filipinos are at the center of political and ecological precarity. Just like the amihan and habagat, this season’s productions show the push and pull in the critical zones of the Philippines today,” states DUP.
This season introduces the DUP Classics and DUP Innovate.
Nanay Bangis will be staged at the IBG-KAL Theater on the following dates: Nov. 15, 22, 29 (7:30 p.m.); Nov. 16, 23, 30 (2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.); Nov. 17, 24, and Dec. 1 (10:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.). Tickets are available at bit.ly/NanayBangisTickets and at ticketmelon.com/dulaang-up/nanaybangis.
