Weekday shows at 7 pm; Weekend shows at

For its final offering this 39th season,
Dulaang Unibersidad ng Pilipinas stages
Bilanggo ng Pag-ibig, an innovative piece
largely based on Jean Genet’s last major
book Un Captif Amoureux (Prisoner of Love).
The piece is written by Rody Vera and
directed by José Estrella.
Genet’s final opus is a lyrical and
philosophical voyage to the bloody
intersection of oppression, terror, and desire
at the heart of the contemporary world. The
play seeks to understand and portray
Genet’s imagination as well as his
controversial insights on revolution, betrayal
and deceit, homosexuality, violence, and
love. Bilanggo ng Pag-ibig is a response to
Genet’s daring claim and provocation: “The
end pursued by revolution is the discovery of
beauty.” For inquiries contact 926-1349, 433-7840,
