‘Mga Binago ng Araw’ by Mad Child Productions to be Staged This August
After its staged reading of Trophy Boys, Mad Child Productions continues its third season, titled A.K.A. Our Coming of Age, with Guelan Varela-Luarca’s Mga Binago ng Araw.
Written as a play with music, Mga Binago ng Araw is, according to the company, “…a love letter to youth, and a return to memory: first loves, summer pool parties, and the people we leave behind as we inevitably become ourselves.” The production asks the question: “How do the people we love change us? What parts of them do we keep for ourselves when they’re gone?”
Jam Binay (Spring Awakening, Next to Normal) and Zoë de Ocampo (Trophy Boys, Patintero sa Ayala Avenue) lead the cast alongside Vino Mabalot (Quomodo Desolata Es?, Next to Normal), Maliana Beran (Tanghalang Ateneo’s Emilia, Tanghalang Ateneo’s Sintang Dalisay), Francesca Dela Cruz (Tanghalang Ateneo’s Emilia, VLF’s Sa Babaeng Lahat), and Rafael Jimenez (Ateneo blueREP’s The Addams Family, Twelfth Night).
Continuing Mad Child’s commitment to nurturing young voices and creating opportunities for creative risk-taking, the production features a cast and creative team composed largely of emerging artists in the local theater scene. Monty Uy spearheads the show as director, with John Lucing (movement design), Michelle Cornejo (composer), Sarah Facuri (set design), Jethro Nibaten (lighting design), Perine Nyssa Bianzon (associate lighting design), Uriel Tibayan (sound design), Sofia Santelices (costume design), and Teia Contreras and Julia Vaila (projection design).
Mga Binago ng Araw will run on August 14 at 7 PM; August 15, 22, and 23 at 2 PM and 7 PM; and August 16 at 2 PM at the Old Communications Black Box Theater, Ateneo de Manila University.
Limited early bird tickets are now on sale at P1,500 each and may be purchased through the group’s Google Form. Ticket prices will increase to P1,700 after the first 50 tickets are sold. Blind box pass holders have also been sent an email with instructions on how to claim their tickets.
