SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE (Del Mundo, Eduarte, Muñoz, Sy, Yu)
We scroll through success stories, chase milestones, and sometimes forget to ask: Am I allowed to rest? In this devised performance, we explore the theme of contentment— a shared yet shifting desire for peace, purpose, and fulfillment.
ARDENT (Cabanban, Chavarria, Sembrano, Mondejar, Vicencio)
In the world of production design, the body serves as both a tool and a vessel, essential to the realization of artistic visions. Behind the completed sets and the applause lies an unspoken truth: a deep fear of the moment their physical bodies can no longer endure the demands of their work.
ARROWS OF FATE (Alamon, Bitana, Ford, Guiterrez, Novencido)
A devised stage performance that explores the idea and tension between time and direction, based on the metaphors used, which are the compass and the clock. How do you know if time and compass are pointing to the same truth?
THE LIGHT THAT CANNOT FILL THE ROOM (Clemente, Co, Gamil, Vivar)
Trapped in a loop of negativity — unworthiness, rejection, repeated failure— we are given the choice to give up, break free, or simply rest.
MADE WITH LOVE (Basco, Bocboc, Huang, Macapinlac, Magino)
In today’s generation, many people are unsure of how to give or receive love. This project uses food as a metaphor to explore the different forms and layers of love, questioning how people choose to experience it, and whether they sometimes mistake false appearances for sincerity.
PAG-ULAN SA BUKANG LIWAYWAY (Castro, Gonzaga, Mendiola, Rodriguez, Tan)
When you ask college students of Generation Z about their fears, one of the most common answers is the fear of the unknown. This devised performance aims to provide comfort through sharing common experiences and to call out the institution on how it can address these problems more effectively.
STELLAR STRIP (Acero, Angeles, Del Rosario, Umbalin, Tiong)
Ambition is often seen as a path to success, but it can also lead to deep personal dissatisfaction. While society celebrates achievements, it rarely acknowledges the emotional costs behind them. This project seeks to understand why the pursuit of ambition often results in internal dissatisfaction and how success shapes one’s self-worth, mental well-being, and perception of fulfillment.
