MANILA, Philippines - Artistang Artlets, the official theater guild of the Faculty of Arts and Letters of the University of Santo Tomas (UST) which seeks to promote theater as an alternative educational tool presents a musical play, 2B Kontinyud, on Dec. 18, 19, and 20 at the Albertus Magnus auditorium of the university’s Education building.
Based on a popular farm simulation video game, Harvest Moon, the play is set in a perfect place called Kinoki Town where its citizens try to live normal lives when the game sets off, forming relationships and experiencing conflicts. Also a satire, the play tackles political and social issues in the real and modern world with audiences also wondering who really controls the game and how the characters will escape their continued non-reality.
Written by Renz Lyndon Paguio, directed by John Dennis Santiago, and produced by Kris Joven Medalla, 2B Kontinyud is Artistang Artlets offering on its 32nd season.
