That’s a wrap for EL FILIBUSTERISMO: Sa Landas ng Paglaya, which took the stage last October 16 & 17 at Sta. Cecilia Hall, St. Scholastica’s College, Manila!

Bringing El Fili to life is no small feat. Behind every scene are hours of rehearsals, countless adjustments, early call times, and people who continue to show up for the work. To our cast, crew, and production team, thank you for seeing this through and giving this story the stage it deserves. ❤️

To the teachers, students, and schools who joined us, thank you for making space for stories like this one. Rizal’s words may have been written generations ago, but the conversations they spark are still worth having today.

And just like that, another chapter of The Classics Now 2026 comes to a close. Bitbit natin ang kwento, ang aral, at ang paalala na ang paglaya ay hindi basta hinihintay — ipinaglalaban.

Hanggang sa susunod na kwento, Artist Playground family! 🤎

A 140-year-old zarzuela becomes a multi-sensory theatrical experience

Junto Al Pasig: The Rock, Ballet & Multimedia Zarzuela reimagines José Rizal's 1880 masterpiece as a fusion of four art forms—rock music, classical ballet, multimedia art, and theater—on a single stage.

Rock drives the rebellion. Ballet embodies the grace. Multimedia reflects the truth. Theater tells the story.
