>After the well applauded Orozman at Zafira and Shock Value, Dulaang UP will be presenting Isang Panaginip na Fili by Floy Quintos as part of their 35th Theatre Season and prelude to the 150th birth anniversary of Dr. Jose Rizal. Isang Panaginip na Fili will run from November 24 to December 12 at the Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero Theater, U.P. Diliman, Quezon City.
Isang Panaginip na Fili was written by Floy Quintos and with original music composed of Ceejay Manuel Javier. The musical play is a radical reworking of Rizal’s El Filibusterismo, still set in 1891 where Rizal is crafting the El Fili in a hotel room if Paris. The concept of the play is about transformation on how Rizal crafted the story of El Fili and transforms each character to a new person. With Tunying Ibañez, an Ilustrado and Rizal’s roommate he witness the how nightmares visits Rizal and morphing of all characters in his novel like Basilio turning into a disillusioned rebel, Maria Clara transforms from the chaste inamorata to Salvi’s secret whore and Chrisostomo Ibarra’s transformation from reformist to filibustero. The musical adds more color in each character to create more stories on how transformation of each character takes place.

Alternating as Tunying are Reuben Uy, OJ Mariano, and Nazer Salcedo.
