Sa Ngalan Sa Amahan: A Cebuano Stage Play

Moonbox Event Productions presents the University of the Philippines Student Theater Arts Guild for Education (UPSTAGE) in a Cebuano play entitled Sa Ngalan Sa Amahan (In the Name of the Father). The play will be staged in SM Cinema 2 on February 27, 2010, Saturday. It is directed by Ligaya Rabago-Visaya with artistic director, Rudy Aviles.

Sa Ngalan sa Amahan is a Cebuano play inspired from Sa Ngalan ng Ama by Roberto Jose de Guzman, a Palanca Award winning play for Literature. The play revolves around the tragic story of a family ruined by the autocratic ways of the father. The story takes place within the old household of the Villasante’s. It tackles highly important and relevant political and social issues discussed in the family setting, society’s most basic unit and very foundation.

The story stresses the importance of family relations and how the country is shaped by the families composing it. Conflicts in the story do not only revolve around the family members but also involve the greater circles of the Philippine society. The lives and views of each of the family members carefully reflect the facets of our society.
