RAW. UNSETTLING. UNCOMFORTABLY REAL.
This R18 performance invites you to witness the truths we hide… even from ourselves.

Step into the shadows of Games People Play—where choices have consequences, and silence says more than words ever could.

Games People Play explores the emotional and psychological depth of three young children in a small village, weaving together memories, yearnings, and personal histories. Through layered storytelling, the narrative revisits childhood experiences to reveal how past events shape identity and relationships

Some games aren’t meant to be won.

"Saglit Lang"
Written by Bj Crisostomo

“Sa isang abandonadong tanghalan, magtatagpo ang batang gutom matuto at isang maestrong nag-aalay ng alaala, alamat, kasaysayan, sining, buhay at pag-ibig… isang elihiya.”

WHAT IS REAL—AND WHAT IS ONLY A STORY WE TELL OURSELVES?

THE MINDS AND THE MONKS: DREAMING THE REAL

In this featured performance of the 12th Kuris International Theatre Festival, a monk begins to unravel the truth behind his own existence, only to find that reality may be nothing more than a creation of the mind. Interwoven with the journey of Narada from the Vishnu Purana, the stage becomes a space where dreams, memory, and illusion collide.

A quiet yet powerful invitation:
to question,
to reflect,
to see beyond what is seen.

Step in—and decide for yourself what feels real.
