Bahay Tanghalan: TAOnline Festival A celebration of student artistry in the digital domain October 2020 to February 2021 Live at tanghalangateneo.com Tanghalang Ateneo Season 42 Adaptation/Pagbabanyuhay: Bagong Anyo ng Buhay
message from the president of the loyola schools
“Adapt” is proving itself to be the University’s word of the year. From our faculty’s courses on Adaptive Design for Learning to Tanghalang Ateneo’s theme for its much-changed 42nd Season, and adapting our very lives to the reality of the pandemic, the year 2020 has been an exercise in creativity, innovation, flexibility, and, yes, adaptation. So it has been with Ateneo de Manila’s oldest collegiate theater group. How does one stage a theatrical production when there is no stage and the actors cannot leave their homes? Again, adaptation. And as the form of theater adapts to the online platform, it is fitting that the content of this online festival is also that of adaptation, adapting classics into the Philippine context. TA’s choice of the Filipino word for the theme, pagbabanyuhay, metamorphosis, is even more descriptive. It suggests that, even when the pandemic is finally over, our lives will not return to what they were like before, that the transformations will be permanent. The question remains, what will we turn into after all this? After the pandemic? After the thousands of unwarranted deaths in the war on drugs? After uncalled for displays of misogyny and discrimination from the country’s top leaders? Each person, each institution can only answer for themselves but the six productions in the festival, which explore critical issues like governance, gender, mental health, and relationships, may give us insights about what our answers may be. For the sake of our country and every Filipino, and for the sake of our soul’s salvation, we can only hope that each one of us will metamorphose into the person that God always meant us to be.

message from the vice president of the loyola schools Nothing beats theater in communicating snippets of life dramatically to audiences of various kinds. And in Ateneo de Manila, nothing beats Tanghalang Ateneo, the earliest established theater company in the university, in forging the significance of communication as a show, not just a tell. I would like to congratulate Tanghalang Ateneo for going digital on its 42nd season – yet another one of its firsts! In no other time than now is this initiative necessary when theater halls are empty and lonely. Where there is creativity, there is life. Such is our communal experience in this pandemic. In doing ‘Adaptation | Pagbabanyuhay: Bagong Anyo ng Buhay,’ TA is precisely giving a testimony on human creativity and resilience, the ability to triumph in goodness and love against all odds. I think adaptation is a brilliant theme here. It’s adaptation in at least two senses: (a) TA as a theater company adapting to new realities of dramatic presentations from an onsite stage to an online platform, and (b) the plays, written by members of the Ateneo community as adaptations or inspired by classic works of literature: The English novelist, George Orwell’s dystopian social science fiction, 1984; the Danish writer, Hans Christian Andersen’s folktale “The Emperor’s New Clothes;” the English poet, Sir Walter Raleigh’s poem, “The Passionate Shepherd to His Love;” the biblical Exodus narrative; the American Poet, Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven;” and Philippine mythical stories with the character of the Manananggal. So in its 42nd Season, through these productions, TA will afford us a good travel experience to different places and cultures – despite our locked down state. It’s an experience filled with realities that are familiar and can resonate with us in our environment. Shakespeare said, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.” Well we can say that in TA’s “‘Adaptation | Pagbabanyuhay: Bagong Anyo ng Buhay,’ the digital stage presents many worlds where all the men and women that play a part in it are they for whom these different worlds exist. The audiences look forward to watching the stage breath life through the plays. Congratulations to Guelan Luarca, TA’s Artistic Director and Moderator! Congratulations to the writers of the plays! Congratulations to the actors that translated the written plays into dramatic action!

message from the Artistic Director/Moderator Dahil sa malubhang pag-iisa na dulot ng pandemyang ito, isa sa pinakamalimit kong balikbalikan, bilang sintomas na rin ng lubos kong pangungulila, ay ang tungkol sa mahal kong sining ng teatro.
Paano nga ba ko natutong magteatro? Bata pa lamang ako, dinadala na ‘ko ng tatay ko sa mga dula -- mula sa lokal na mga pangkat pantanghalan sa aming barangay sa Sta. Ana, Maynila, hanggang sa mga libreng patiket na nakukuha namin ni Dad mula sa Sentrong Pangkultura ng Pilipinas, at sa mga dulang tinampukan mismo ni Dad n’ung mas madalas pa siyang umarte sa teatro. Nariyan din ang panonood namin ng mga pelikulang hango kay Shakespeare, at sa edad na 7 ay naturuan na ‘ko ni Mom na magbasa ng mitolohiyang Griyego (na kadalasan ay mga trahedya pang-entablado), bukod pa kina Shakespeare, Henrik Ibsen, Rolando Tinio. Hanggang noong magwalong taong gulang ako, napabilang ako sa isang panteatrong presentasyon sa parokya namin para sa Semana Santa. Sa madali’t sabi: natuto akong magteatro dahil kinalakihan ko ito. Di man ako “theater major” n’ung kolehiyo, sapat ang pormasyong naranasan ko n’ung kabataan para mahigop, parang espongha, ang mga “how to” ng pagkuwento gamit ang tanghalan -- espasyo, mga aktor, kilos, kulay, kaunting props, kaunting set pieces, musika, mahika, kulam, bangungot, imahinasyon, atbp. atbp. Kinalakihan ko kasi ito. Malaking ambag ang aking kabataan. Ganoon din yata ang mga dinadakila at iniidolo nating mga theater artists -- may sapat na bahagi ng kanilang pagyabong o “growth” bilang tao, na nakaranas sila -- di lang nakapag-aral, kundi naka-DANAS, lalo noong kabataan -- ng pagteteatro. Buweno...pa’no na ngayon? Ngayong sarado ang mga tanghalan? Anong balon, bangko, arsenal ng karanasan ang paghuhugutan ko para makapagkuwento mula sa kani-kaniyang bahay? Gamit ang internet? Nang walang pinagbabahaginang iisang espasyo? Mga magkakahiwalay na aktor, kadalasan de-Zoom lang? Limitadong kilos? Kulay na kung ano lang ang kayang mahagip ng kamera ng selepono o kompyuter? Props na mahahanap lang sa bahay? Mismong bahay bilang tagpuan? Musikang digital at recorded? Ano, paano, saan dito ang mahika? Ano ang kulam sa mga 1 at 0? Ano ang bangungot kung pinalilibutan tayo ng mga totoo -- masiyadong totoong -- mga bangungot? Saan makalilipad sa online ang aking imahinasyon? Kaya yata ako nangangapa, natutuliro, parang isdang nahango sa tubig, papitlag-pitlag, naghahabol-hininga -- dahil hindi ko kinalakihan ‘to. Ito. Ang online world. Ang espasyong birtuwal. Labindalawang taong gulang na yata ako noong una akong masinsinang natutong gumamit ng internet. Samantalang sa edad na iyon, higit 30 dula na yata ang napanood at nabasa ko. Hinanda ako ng buhay sa teatro. Pero hindi niya ‘ko (masiyadong) hinanda sa teatro online.

message from the Artistic Director/Moderator Hindi ko ‘to mundo. Pero... Ikaw. Kayo. Gen Z. Mga mahal kong estudyante. Mundo mo ito. Ito ang mundo ni’yo. Ngayon, KAYO ang mas lamang. KAYO ang mas nakaaalam, mas gamay, mas marunong, mas hiyang. Kayo ang henerasyong lumaki nang hawak ang inyong mga gadget, at kaming mga nakatatanda, nakaismid at hinuhusgahan kayong mga zombie, napakayabang at smug sa paghirit namin ng “Ang mga bata talaga ngayon, o!” (habang nakatunganga din naman sa aming sariling mga gadget). Ngayon ang tsansang ipakita na hinanda lamang kayo para sa bago’t nakatatakot na realidad na kinakaharap natin ngayon. Na balang-araw, kayo ang dapat mamuno at magwasto sa mga pagkakamali ng mga naunang henerasyon. Ito na ang panahon ninyo! At narito kaming mga nakatatanda -- we’re taking notes! Iyan ang na-realize ko nang maisip kong simulan ang bagong tagdula ng Tanghalang Ateneo, hindi sa obra maestrang gawa ng mga kaedaran ko o mas nakatatanda sa akin -- bagkus, gawa NINYO. Kaya salamat sa inyong tapang! Ipakita sa amin ang daan kung paano magkuwento online. Ipakita ang kumpyansa’t angas ng inyong imahinasyon at kakayahan sa inobasyon! Turuan kaming baliin sa paraang wasto at kaiga-igaya ang mga nakasanayan na naming patakaran, ituro sa amin ang mga bagong patakarang dapat pairalin! KAYO ang guro namin ngayon. Kami nina Ser Ron Capinding, Ser Khavn dela Cruz, at Doc Ricky Abad ay susunod lamang sa INYONG mga yapak! At sa mga mahal naming manonood, inaanyayahan namin kayong pagbabaran ang mga likha ng aming mga estudyante. Sulat-estudyante, direksiyongestudyante, gawang-estudyante. Namnamin nawa ninyo, kilatisin, pagtalunan, at kung kailangan ay punahin, ngunit higit sa lahat, kawilihan. Balang-araw, pangarap ko’y mabalikan ang panahong ito hindi lamang bilang babala at kuwentong puno ng trahedya, kundi panahon din ng inobasyon at paggaygay sa isang bagong daigdig -- sa iba’t ibang larangan at aspekto ng buhay, kasama ang sining ng pagkukuwento, ang bagong medium ng Online Teatro. Sulong, Tanghalang Ateneo! At habang nananabik tayo sa araw na darating na makababalik na tayo sa bahaytanghalan, heto’t lilikha tayo ng panibagong tahanan. Magkakalayo man, ngunit walang bitawan! Mabuhay ang teatrong pangahas! Mabuhay ang teatrong di-takot sa pagbabago! Mabuhay ang teatrong Atenista! At mabuhay ang teatro ng kabataan!

company profile
Tanghalang Ateneo is the longest-running theater company of the Loyola Schools, Ateneo de Manila University. It sees itself as a theater company in the service of student formation, and by extension – given the Jesuit ideal of magis – a theater in service of the nation. Since its founding in 1972, Tanghalang Ateneo has grown from a fledgling band of student players to one of the country’s leading school-based theater companies. Over the years, TA, as it is lovingly known to its members and alumni, has focused on staging world and contemporary classics, Filipino originals, and documentary texts turned into theater pieces. Its productions have been noted for their thought, complexity, and aesthetic. It is a student-led theater company performing on par with the professionals. TA’s members come from diverse academic fields, and are trained in all facets of theater - from performance, to technical production and business. As a student-based theater company and organization, it prides itself in producing well-rounded members who are competent in all aspects of theater production. Many have pursued careers in theater, television, and film; many more use their theater experience to excel in management, law, teaching, media, and cultural work. National Artist for Theater Design Salvador Bernal, Doreen Fernandez, and Nenita Escasa were among the company’s advisers in the early years. Ricardo Saludo became the first Artistic Director and Moderator when Tanghalang Ateneo gained university recognition in 1979. Dr. Ricardo G. Abad succeeded him and became the company’s longest-serving Artistic Director and Moderator (1984-2014). In February 2014, ninetime Palanca winner Glenn Sevilla Mas became the company’s Artistic Director and Moderator. This year marks another changing of the guard as Palanca-award winning playwright Guelan Varela-Luarca, a product of Tanghalang Ateneo and a mentee of both Abad and Mas, takes on the leadership of the company. Acclaimed professional actors have graced its shows, and several outstanding playwrights, designers, and choreographers have served as members of its artistic staff, such as Naty Crame-Rogers, Rene Villanueva, Irma Adlawan, Noni Buencamino, Gino Gonzales, Teroy Guzman, Bodjie Pascua, Floy Quintos, Frances Makil-Ignacio, Myra Beltran, Leeroy New, and Ed Lacson, Jr. The company has received production grants from the Cultural Center of the Philippines, the Loyola Schools, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, the Spanish Program for Cultural Cooperation, and the Japan Foundation. Its shows have been shown in campuses and venues across the country and abroad, notably in Shanghai and Taiwan as part of the Festival of the Asian Pacific Bureau of Theatre Schools, and in Belarus, Minsk for the International University Theatre Association Student Theatre Festival. The company’s past achievements have also facilitated the creation, in SY 2000-2001, of a degree program in Theater Arts within the Department of Fine Arts of the Ateneo de Manila University. Tanghalang Ateneo’s productions stimulate the imagination and provoke thought. Jesuit pedagogy fuses with theater arts to interrogate the Filipino social world so that students can invent themselves as critical Filipinos: sharp in thought, expressive in action, deep in faith and attuned to others – fellow players and audiences whose lives intersect with their own.

Ram has experienced performing on-stage during Gilgamesh, AKO, and Antigone as well as assisted a production behind the scenes mostly of the sales team during TA season 41. While Bahay Tanghalan certainly provided him an opportunity to act in front of the camera, it also served as his ‘first experience’ of doing tech work for the organization.

She had been DnP Head for AKO (2019) and Dolorosa (2019). With the pandemic, she had thought that DnP has died; Darice was wrong. Continuing to struggle in collecting everyone’s write-ups, Darice misses taking photos in the theater. She is forever proud of her wonderful PC Central Board and of all the graphic designers in this festival.
HANNAH BAYONA

Somehow, she ended up as Deputy Assistant Technical Director in Gilgamesh and Marisol. Hoping to learn more through experience, she took on her first headship for Technical Direction for Dolorosa.

Having no prior ideas about how the org works, she revealed in her first interview as a trainee that she was interested in writing, only to be informed that it is not a role taken up by the students. This season however, this desire has come into fruition with PPP, which she also coordinated as SM.

JULIA IMAI
main stage management Balay Dolor Everyone was caught off-guard with her powerhouse of a performance in her first debut as the main character Antigone during TA season 41. What is not surprising is that she is still a powerhouse as an Stage Manager this time around! She is definitely a gem worth keeping an eye on!
DEON SIH
main stage management/ marketing Bitaw Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then, everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and my brother and I discovered the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. And although his airbending skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he’s ready to save anyone. But I believe Aang can save the world.
CHRISTINE CHIU props
If psychology is Chiu’s loving wife, then theater is her passionate mistress. After becoming a Friend of TA (or FoTA) and a Props Member for Dolorosa, she signed up to be a trainee of the organization and worked as a Props Deputy for Antigone vs the People of the Philippines. Not long after, she became one of the Props Mistresses for Top Girls, and is currently taking on another headship (or six). All she dreams of now is a bucket of fries, a good night’s sleep, and a flying prop bird.
