FEU Theater Guild “Ang Pinakamakisig sa mga Nalunod sa Buong Daigdig” all set to open October 2

Co-presented by the FEU Center for the Arts (FCA) and Alumni Relations Office (ARO), 

the FEU Theater Guild (FTG) returns to the uncanny coasts of Isla Esteban and restages for the fourth time “Ang Pinakamakisig sa mga Nalunod sa Buong Daigdig” to close its 90th theater season.

Set on water, this mystery-filled play was adapted from Gabriel Garcia-Marquez’s “The Handsomest Drowned Man” by Teresa Lorena Jopson.

Jeff Hernandez composed the music, along with musical direction by Jesus Singh III (IAS ‘17). 

Dudz Teraña, the Artistic Director of the FTG handled the overall direction and choreography. “I do not know another local group that successfully captured the Garcia Marquez magic-realist combination of otherworldly ambiance and ground human tragic-comedy,” wrote Arturo Hilado in the Philippine Daily Inquirer after he watched the late 2018 staging.  

Premiering on October 2, 2024 at the FEU Center of the Arts Studio, the sound of mellow waves will welcome you to Isla Esteban where a big mystery threatens to disturb its calm shores.
