If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? 🍃

The Philippines has endured more than its fair share of environmental concerns in 2024 alone: territorial disputes on the West Philippine Sea and Bugsuk Island, rising heat indices that have caused water crises and deaths nationwide, and the continued killing of environmental defenders, to name a few. These are issues that the media has picked up on, but there is a multitude that have fallen with no one to hear it.

The 2024 exhibit If the Walls Can Talk brings to light these unacknowledged narratives through the works of Eunice Sanchez, Kookoo Ramos-Cruda, and Resty Flores. Drawing from investigative reports funded by the Pulitzer Center’s Rainforest Reporting Grant, each piece transforms environmental data into a sensory experience, ensuring that the Philippines’ environmental cries are recognized, felt, and understood.

One thing’s universal: life’s no dress rehearsal! 👗✨

Ateneo Blue Repertory’s 33rd season newbie production, the PROM, dazzled with color and wit. Under the direction of Abi Sulit and musical guidance of Maia Dapul, every moment was filled with unapologetic queerness and pride. 🏳️‍🌈🪩

the PROM takes us to a small town in Indiana where a group of Broadway misfits step in to save a teenager’s prom night (and their careers) after Emma Nolan is banned from attending prom with her girlfriends. What follows is a feel-good journey full of love, self-discovery, and acceptance. With humor and heart, the PROM tackles homophobia and bullying, all while celebrating the power of living authentically. 🕺💌

Kahit sino ay puwedeng tumula at kahit ano ay puwedeng tulaan. Ang natitirang tanong na lang ay kung para saan ito.

Kadalasan, ang pagtula ay pagtugon sa mga tanda ng panahon natin. Ngayong Pambansang Araw ng Pagtula, alalahanin natin kung paano tayo pinalaya at patuloy na pinalalaya ng mga tula. Isang mabuting halimbawa rito ang tulang Cable ni Jerome Flor na nailathala sa HEIGHTS Tomo 65 Blg. 1. Gamit ang pag-usisa mga estereotipo ng mga pang-araw-araw na telebisyon, pinahihiwatig ng tula ang panganib ng desensitasyon sa karahasan at trahediya sa gitna ng mga halo-halong palabas.

Pinagdiriwang ang Pambansang Araw ng Pagtula sa Pilipinas tuwing ika-22 ng Nobyembre kasabay ng kaarawan ni Jose Corazon de Jesus o Huseng Batute, isa sa mga makatang tumindig para sa paglaya ng bansa noong Panahon ng mga Amerikano. Nakikiisa ang HEIGHTS Ateneo sa pagdaraos ng araw na ito lalo na sa layunin nitong maghawan ng daan para sa mas maalab na pagpapahalaga ng masa sa pagtula.

Mabuhay ang panulaang Pilipino!

“Kung walang babae, mas gaganda ang mundo.”

Callous misogynistic remarks like this provoke the deepest of women’s wrath, setting the stage for the exploration of female rage.

Tanghalang Ateneo’s Medea, the Filipino adaptation of the classic Greek myth translated by National Artist for Theater Rolando Tinio, delves deeply into this potent theme.

In a riveting 2-hour production that left no space for dull moments, Medea shatters gender norms of female submission under male domination, exposing what truly lies at the core of humanity when both sexes reach their breaking point.

How far will you go when wronged? 💢

First staged in Greece in 431 BC, Medea finds new life as Tanghalang Ateneo brings this timeless story of betrayal, vengeance, and the raw force of human passion to the Fine Arts Blackbox Theater this November. Directed by Ron Capinding with Filipino translation by National Artist Rolando S. Tinio, this production brings fresh intensity to a universal tale that continues to resonate across cultures and generations.

“Nakatitiyak bang gising na tayo? Sa aking palagay pa rin, tulog at nananaginip.” — Demetrio

Sa pagbabalangkas ng salin ni Rolando S. Tinio ng “A Midsummer Night's Dream” ni William Shakespeare, pinasimulan ng Tanghalang Ateneo ang ika-46 nitong tagdula sa produksiyon nitong Pangarap/Panaginip.

Gamit ang mapaglarong talas ng komedya, binigyang-buhay ng tanghalan ang klasikong dula upang muling itampok ang mga naratibo ng batang pag-ibig at mahika, habang sabay na nilulusaw ang hangganan ng realidad at pantasya.
