Teatro ni Juan Welcomes Apatnapu, Opens February 16


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Teatro ni Juan, Marikina's premiere community theatre, draws its 11th Theatre Season to a close with ANG PAGSALUBONG SA APATNAPU, a new musical that reenvisions the true events that has transpired in the city in the early '40s.

A deranged writer recounts how the Jewish refugees found their way to the Valley, escaping the terrors of Kristallnacht. President Manuel Quezon welcomes the ‘Manilaners’ to his abode in the small city of Marikina. Together with the MarikeƱos, they establish an intercultural nexus with a deeper bond as a community; a forewarning for the turmoil yet to come — the requisitioning of the Japanese Imperial Army over the islands.

Featuring the Teatro ni Juan ensemble, ANG PAGSALUBONG SA APATNAPU is a tread through the remarkable contribution of Marikina to the Philippines’ historical narrative — one that has long been unnoticed by the history books and one that is worth telling the generations to come.
