In its 92nd season, the Far Eastern University Theater Guild (FTG) presents BANGAW, a bold Filipino play with music adapted from William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies. Opening March 5 at the FEU Center for the Arts Studio, the production runs on select dates until April 25, 2026.

Written by Gold Villar-Lim, with music by Vince Lim and direction by PETA Senior Artist-Teacher and FTG Artistic Director Dudz Teraña, Bangaw reimagines the classic survival tale through a distinctly Filipino lens. Set on a remote island in the Visayas, the story follows high school students stranded after a plane crash. As order crumbles and fear takes hold, fascination with hunting and the myth of a lurking monster fracture the group’s fragile society. At the center stands Raf, determined to preserve structure, clashing with Jack’s descent into dominance and chaos.

Blending symbolic movement, raw emotional expression, and original Filipino soundscapes, Bangaw confronts themes of division, abuse of power, moral decay, and patriarchy—while reflecting resilience, bayanihan, and hope amid collapse.

Show Dates: March: 5–7, 12–14, 19–21, 26–28 April: 9–11, 16–18, 23–25
