HALIMAW at Teresa Yuchengco Auditorium

Harlequin Theatre Guild, De La Salle University Manila’s premier theater organization, will retell Dr. Isagani Cruz’s 1971 sarsuwela 'Halimaw' (Ang Musikal ng Sinisintang Pilipinas), featuring a more contemporary pop-rap musical score.

Set in a reimagined fantastical Philippines, 'Halimaw' follows Alberto in his pursuit of saving the tyrannical King’s three daughters, the Marias, who are abducted by halimaws or monsters.

Accompanied by two ordinary men, the Juans, Alberto must face the enigmatic siren, Binibining Sirena; the deceptive matron, Ginang Purista; and the devious executive, Ginoong Dragon, to defeat the monsters and rescue the Marias.
