“Niyebe” at FEU Theater Guild this February 2025

Tweet

The Far Eastern University Theater Guild (FTG) stages another Gabriel Garcia-Marquez short story as an experimental play for the opening of its 91st season. This groundbreaking production, featuring music and musical direction by Vince Lim, assisted by Jesus Singh III (IAS ‘17) for additional guidance and vocal coaching, choreography by Carlon Matobato, and choreography, adaptation, lyrics, and direction by Dudz Teraña, is set to captivate audiences from February 12 to March 27, 2024.

Against the backdrop of Europe's harsh winter, Niyebe tells the tragic story of newlyweds Billy Sanchez and Nena Deconte, whose honeymoon turns into a nightmare. A small scrape on Nena's finger leads to death! Stranded in a foreign land, Billy grapples with solitude, grief, and despair, forced to confront profound questions about existence, purpose, and identity in the aftermath of his wife’s sudden death. All this while, he battles the relentless bureaucracy that ultimately denies him the chance to see his wife one last time. The play features a dynamic cast with Billy Sanchez played by RB Pascua (IAS ‘25) and Dave Bambang (IARFA ‘29), Nena Deconte by Kesiah Eunice Aritao (IAS ‘25) and Brigitta Claire Marilla (IAS ‘25), and the Narrator by Aaron Bayani (FIT ‘25). The production will also showcase a dynamic ensemble cast, whose collective talent and synergy will enhance the depth and vibrancy of the musical's narrative and performances.

Director and writer Dudz Teraña masterfully adapts García Márquez's story into a compelling theatrical experience that fuses music, movement, and rich storytelling. "Niyebe isn’t just a love story; it’s a reflection of how the fragility of happiness and loss can spiral into a deep existential crisis," says Teraña. "Reimagined as an experimental play, it employs a unique narrative style while delving into societal issues such as class disparity, which inspired García Márquez’s original work. Much like his other works, it speaks on existentialism, the questioning of one’s purpose after a sudden loss, and the wanting of escapism triggered by this loss."

The show's brilliance lies not only in its powerful performances but also in the dedicated work of its creative and production team. From the seamless execution by Stage Manager Maria Ysabel Delos Reyes (IAS ‘27) to the logistical coordination of Production Manager Janah Gervacio (IHSN ‘26), and House Manager Hans Fernandez, every aspect of the show is meticulously managed. The production’s aesthetic vision is brought to life by Production Design Head Kirstan Orbegoso (IAS ‘28) and Costume Designer Margarita Barrameda (IAS ‘26), and the technical team led by Technical Head Kristian Samson (IAS ‘26), with lighting design by Arvin Javier (IAS ‘28), sound by Gab Lazaro (FIT ‘27), and video projections by Shawn Tarala (IAS ‘27). Offstage, the show is supported by Marketing Relations Head Cassandra Herilla (IAS ‘27), Creative Head Julia Nicole Ramas (FIT ‘27), Multimedia Heads Davewyn Macawile (IAS ‘25) and Millicent Roxas (IAS ‘25), Media Relations Head Heleina Li (IAS ‘27), Collaborative Relations Head Irish Oliveros (IAS ‘28), and Social Media Manager Renz Dotillos (IAS ‘26), ensuring that Niyebe resonates with audiences both on and off the stage.

With a unique blend of captivating performances, evocative music, and innovative design, Niyebe is more than just a musical—it’s a deeply moving exploration of love and loss. It will run at the FEU Center for the Arts Studio on the following dates:

●        February: 12-13, 19-22, 26-28

●        March: 1, 5-8, 12-15, 19-22, 26-27

 Prices are 100 PHP for the FEU Community, 300 PHP for student Guests, 500 PHP for Regulars, and 700 PHP for VIPs. For reservations and inquiries, please contact the FTG through their social media pages:

The Big Dome opens 2025 with sold-out shows

Tweet

The Smart Araneta Coliseum is kicking off 2025 with a bang, hosting a stellar lineup of concerts that have attracted music lovers from all over. With all shows selling out—and most securing multiple nights—the Big Dome is proving once again why Pinoys are the greatest lovers of live performances!

From homegrown talents to global icons, here’s a look at the must-see performances that have packed the Big Dome to capacity.

TJ Monterde makes history with three sold-out nights

Singer-songwriter TJ Monterde is carving his name in the history books as the first local male artist to sell out a three-night concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Sarili Nating Mundo at the Big Dome will take place from February 1 to 3, marking his first major arena show. Monterde’s heartfelt ballads and signature acoustic sound have won over a loyal fan base, and the overwhelming demand for his concert cements his place as one of OPM’s most beloved voices.

Cup of Joe’s ‘Silakbo’ ignites fans for two sold-out nights

Following their steady rise in the OPM scene, Cup of Joe is taking things to the next level with Silakbo: Featuring Cup of Joe on February 8 and 9. The band’s first-ever arena concert has already sold out, proving the immense following they’ve built with their distinct blend of indie, pop, and rock. Their signature anthems, which resonate deeply with today’s generation, have clearly struck a chord with their fans—enough to fill the Big Dome twice over.

The Script brings ‘Satellites’ Tour to a sold-out Manila crowd

Irish pop-rock band The Script is no stranger to sold-out shows in the Philippines, and their Satellites World Tour is no exception. Their back-to-back concerts on February 11 and 12 are completely booked, with Filipino fans eager to experience the band’s anthemic hits and emotionally charged performances live once again.

The Corrs: Manila’s love affair with the Irish icons continues

Filipinos’ enduring love for The Corrs is on full display as the Irish siblings return to Manila for From Manila With Love on February 15 and 16. The group’s two-night affair at the Big Dome sold out in record time, proving that their blend of Celtic folk and pop remains as timeless as ever. For many, it’s a nostalgic trip back to the golden era of ‘90s music—one that Pinoy fans clearly don’t want to miss.

DAY6 caps off February with a sold-out one-night show

Korean rock band DAY6 is closing out February in style with their Forever Young World Tour on February 22. As expected, MyDays snapped up tickets instantly, making this highly anticipated comeback a sold-out success. Known for their emotionally charged lyrics and genre-defying sound, DAY6’s return to the Manila stage is set to be an unforgettable night for their devoted fans.

With these record-breaking, sold-out performances, the Smart Araneta Coliseum is proving yet again that it’s the home of the biggest and most sought-after concerts in the country. "The overwhelming response to these concerts reaffirms the Big Dome's status as the ultimate stage for unforgettable performances. 2025 is just beginning, and we can't wait to bring even more world-class entertainment to Filipino fans," Ms. Irene L. Jose, Uniprom, Inc. Chief Operating Officer concluded.
