Nonon Padilla and Tony Perez Team Up for PETA’s "SAAN BA TAYO IHAHATID NG DISYEMBRE?"

Start:     Feb 6, '09 2:30p
End:     Mar 15, '09 7:30p
Location:     PETA Theater Center, Eymard Drive, New Manila, Quezon City
PETA brings together two geniuses: Nonon Padilla and Tony Perez, to create a psychological drama masterpiece.

They have previously worked together for "On the North Diversion Road", "Oktubre, Noong Tayo’y Nagmamahalan Pa" and "Nobyembre, Noong Akala Ko’y Mahal Kita"; a collaboration that introduced a new genre of thought-provoking plays – psychological dramas that fascinate and tease the imagination.

Nonon Padilla and Tony Perez started out as young artists working closely with PETA - Nonon, as a noted artist and Founding Director of Tanghalang Pilipino and Tony as a writer and playwright.

Together, they individually produced plays that are raw and rich, unconventional and experimental, but grounded on fundamental themes such as love and friendship.

For the Philippine Educational Theater Association’s (PETA) 41st Theater Season, the two are back to perfect another work of genius. Preparing their latest opus, the third piece of Tony Perez’s psychological trilogy: "Saan Ba Tayo Ihahatid ng Disyembre?". A story about two friends, Lalaki (Juliene Mendoza, Jack Yabut), and Isa Pang Lalaki (Lex Marcos) and their love affair with the same woman, Babae (Angeli Bayani), who is torn between her feelings for the two.

But "Saan Ba Tayo Ihahatid ng Disyembre?" cannot be easily dismissed as ‘just another love story‘. Aside from the three characters fighting over love—Tony Perez adds another character that creates another dimension to the piece: Isa Pang Babae (Alison Segarra), a clairvoyant young woman from the present who oversees the turn of events, as the three other characters get tangled in a complex web of episodes.

With emphasis on love, truth and sacrifice, "Saan Ba Tayo Ihahatid Ng Disyembre?" is a bold and non-traditional production crafted by the country’s most daring writer and ingenious director, Tony Perez and Nonon Padilla. Something—that you sure don’t want to miss.


"Saan Ba Tayo Ihahatid ng Disyembre?" is showing at the PETA Theater Center on February 6-8, 13-15, 20-22, 27-28; March 1, 6-8, 13-15, 2009 (Friday 2:30PM/ 7:30PM, Sat and Sun 10AM /3PM) .
