Teatro ni Juan, Marikina City’s premier community theatre, continues its mission to empower local history and socio-civic issues by creating dynamic stories of relevance and defiance. Now on its 12th Theatre Season, Teatro ni Juan envisions “HABI” as the year of overcoming society’s pressing disputes. With two productions lined up, Teatro ni Juan binds its progressive vision of weaving narratives and bridging communities.
After its highly commendable first run, ANG PAGSALUBONG SA APATNAPU returns to the stage this June 2019. Coming off as a “a musical that breaks free from the limits of its space”, Apatnapu is a tribute to Marikina’s remarkable contribution to the Philippines’ historical narrative — the arrival of Jewish refugees (Manilaners) in the valley and their intercultural nexus with the Marikeños. Together, they are forced to contend with the Japanese Imperial Army. JUNE – JULY 2019 at Tahanan ni Juan
Arising from the depths of the seas once more, MX BAKUNAWA is a contemporary adaptation of the ancient tale that amplifies the current issues of the ‘clout-chasing’ generation. Mx Bakunawa’s struggles come full circle – from transformation to redemption… in the light of the bright, full moon. FEBRUARY – MARCH 2020 at Tahanan ni Juan
Teatro ni Juan boldly delivers the urgent call to serve the community. With ‘Habi’ being the forefront of this season’s mission, TNJ persists on its promise to be a platform for expression, justice, and social transformation.
