Dive into a profound reflection on grief, identity, and national memory in "Quomodo Desolata Es? Isang Dalamhati," a powerful new stage work inspired by "A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino" by National Artist Nick Joaquin. Directed by Guelan Luarca, this reimagined production explores the heart of Filipino identity amidst crumbling legacies, fading familial bonds, and the passage of time.

Featuring a stellar cast including Gab Pangilinan and Delphine Buencamino, the production blurs timelines and realities through movement, sound, and poetry. Expect a lament that bridges the personal and political, performed with emotional resonance and theatrical precision.
Blending Joaquin’s classic narrative with a contemporary lens, "Quomodo Desolata Es?" poses urgent questions about art, loss, and the price of remembering. Audiences will be immersed in a world where Manila’s old soul is laid bare through haunting visuals, evocative performances, and rich language.
Don’t miss this limited-run theatrical experience—an artistic lament that resonates deeply with the country’s cultural psyche. Presented by Areté at the Ateneo de Manila University, this production is a must-see for lovers of Philippine literature, theater, and history.
