PUP Sining-Lahi Polyrepertory is continuously doing its part through the use of acting as a medium to further propagate and uplift the cultural and social awareness in the university and in the community. Furthermore, “ARAW” will feature an original piece of play namely “Paramayo” and “Time’s Up”.
“Paramayo” is a devised piece written by Shaira Colanse and directed by John Nico Labrador and Angel Delas Berlas. The story depicts the man from an island who fell in love with a goddess and as he was struggling through different challenges in his journey, he will come to face dissonance with the truth upon beliefs, life choices, and sacrifices that leads to deep understanding of love and forgiveness.
Meanwhile, the second play depicts of a writer who crammed for the script he must submit for tomorrow. Ace will come up to make a reboot version of his first-written script, “Ang Exorcismo ni Walang Dala Krus”. Truth will unleash the reflection of the writer’s struggle within the stories he made, uncovering his parellelism to his main character, Walang. “Time’s Up” used the texts of “Ang Exorsismo ni Walang Dala Krus” and “Mema” written and directed by Benhur Queqquegan and Angelo Christian Emmanuel Dacalos.
