Rak of Aegis at PETA Theater Center

RAK IS BACK! Following its 50th year, the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) stages once more its iconic, Filipino musical phenomenon, “Rak of Aegis,” for 77 shows comprising its sixth run, with performances beginning on June 20 until September 2, 2018 at The PETA Theater Center.

Featuring songs from the popular 90’s band, Aegis, the play tells the story of Aileen, a young girl with a big voice who dreams of having her video uploaded on YouTube to become viral and eventually be discovered by the big shots. While Aileen’s motives at first seem shallow, she later reveals that it is because she wants the world to know of her barangay’s condition: submerged in flood for almost three months, with their livelihood and health all slowly drifting off with the waters.
