DUP CLASSICS’ “Nanay Bangis”, an adaptation of Bertolt Brecht’s “Mother Courage and Her Children” by Rody Vera under the direction of J. William Herbert Sigmund Go, will open the 47th Theatre Season of Dulaang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas.
This is the story of Bangis, a mother who loses her children to the conflict between the MNLF and the Philippine army from 1971 to 1981. This period piece challenges the romanticized concept of war as an act of nationalism and valor. Rather, it reveals entangled narratives of survival that define the complexities of war. This DUP CLASSICS’ Brechtian staging brings together “comeback-ing” alumni, now industry professionals, and young emerging talents from the theater program in this collaboration.
Show opens on November 15 and runs until December 1, 2024.

Dulaang UP 47th Theater Season:
Amihan at Habagat
Graphic Design: Jaco Payawal
What kind of theatre is needed in this climate? How does theatre respond to these tensions?
Dulaang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas (Dulaang UP) probes tensions in climate on its 47th Season. “Amihan at Habagat” looks into how Filipinos are at the center of sites of precarity: both in the political and ecological. Just like the amihan and the habagat, this season’s productions show the push and pull in the critical zones of the Philippines today.
Presenting both tradition and innovation, this season introduces two banners under Dulaang UP: DUP CLASSICS and DUP INNOVATE.
Dulaang UP is the theater and production arm of the Department of Speech Communication and Theater Arts, University of the Philippines Diliman. Established in 1976, Dulaang UP remains dedicated to cultivating a theater of empowerment and mentorship that challenges and expands artistic boundaries.
