Watch Dulaang UP's ISANG PANAGINIP NA FILI by Floy Quintos (Plus great news for ADMU students!)

As part of the Centennial Celebration of UP, Dulaang UP is proud to present
the 2nd production for the 33rd Theatre Season,
Floy Quintos' new musical
ISANG PANAGINIP NA FILI


with music by C.J. Javier
under the direction of Dulaang UP Founding Artistic Director Tony Mabesa and
Floy Quintos.




Imagine this scenario: Jose Rizal in Paris, finishing his second novel. He is exhausted, nervous, and (as can be gleaned from his diaries) impoverished. He rooms with Tunyung Ibañez, an Illustrado rake and never-do-well.


It is through Tunying's eyes and imagination that this version of Fili takes place. He is transformed to Simoun, the jeweler who in turn manipulates Juli, Basilio, Kabesang Tales, the Friares Irene, Salvi, and Camorra, and the Governor-General in his desire for revenge and the rescue of the ravaged Maria Clara. In the end, Tunying's transformation is completed by his exposure to Rizal's masterpiece.

Eric dela Cruz and Onyl Torres play the dissolute Tunying while Franco Laurel and Joel Molina alternate as Rizal. Also part of the production are Ces Quesada, Stella Canete, JC Santos, JM de Guzman, Mica Pineda, Greg de Leon, Meynard Penalosa, Jacques Borlata, Peter Serrano, Marili Ylagan, and Carlo Cannu with the Dulaang UP ensemble.



Cholo Gino is the choral master, Jason Quirante is the arranger, and Van Manalo is the choreographer for this production. Set design is by Tuxqs Rutaquio, lights by Luter Gumia, sound design by Brian Arda, and graphic design by Paolo Santillan. Tony Mabesa serves as the musical's artistic consultant.

Isang Panaginip na Fili runs from September 10 to 28 at the Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero Theater, 2nd Floor, Palma Hall, University of the Philippines, Diliman with 7pm shows from Wednesday to Friday, and 10am & 3pm shows on weekends.
