Ang Buhay Ni Galileo at PETA Theater Center

The Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) presents one of its landmark and iconic performances, Bertolt Brecht’s “Ang Buhay Ni Galileo.” Revolving around the life of the 16th century scientist, Galileo Galilei, the play embodies the illuminating and forceful arguments of science, but also the throbbing conflict of wills, motives, and passions. The timelessness of this PETA classic shows the resistance made by the authoritarian and conservative elements of the time against the coming of a new age.

“Ang Buhay Ni Galileo” has garnered awards from Philstage 10th Gawad Buhay 2018: Outstanding Translation or Adaptation, Outstanding Original Musical Composition, Outstanding Male Lead Performance in a Play (for Joel Lamangan), Outstanding Male Featured Performance in a Play (for Bodjie Pascua and Noel Comia, Jr.), Outstanding Ensemble Performance for a Play, and Outstanding Production of Existing Material for a Play.

The production is directed by Rody Vera and adapted by Alan Glinoga, with set and costume design by Brenda Fajardo, set and costume execution by Boni Juan, musical direction by Dodjie Fernandez, lights design by Ian Torqueza, featuring Joel Lamangan in an admirably robust portrayal of Galileo.

PETA’s “Ang Buhay Ni Galileo” runs from September 28 to 30, and October 3 to 7, 2018 (10:00 AM & 3:00 PM) at The PETA Theater Center, No. 5 Eymard Drive, New Manila, Quezon City.
