LOS BAÑOS, Laguna—The UPLB Genetics Society will stage El Laberinto de la Verdad (The Labyrinth of Truth), three one-act plays written by Palanca-winning playwrights.

Ang Mga Mananahi tackles socio-political issues, Isang Libong Tula para sa Dibdib ni Dulce is a psycho-drama play, while May Isang Alamat has the environment as its theme.

They are written by Rogelio Braga and Layeta Bucoy.

El Laberinto, which is a silver anniversary presentation of the UPLB Genetics Society, is under the direction of Prof. Elmer Rufo.

It will be staged at the D.L. Umali Auditorium at the University of the Philippines, Los Baños on September 8 and 9.

Here's from the Virgin Labfest Programme (Ang Mga Mananahi was first performed by the UP Repertory Company in July 2008 with Angeli Bayani as Director) :

ABOUT Rogelio Braga's ANG MGA MANANAHI

Set in an ‘unnamed’ place somewhere in the South on the heydays of the government’s war against the Bangsa Moro freedom fighters. A story of how four Muslim women perform the act of bravery on their bare hands and compassionate souls. “Walang kapayapaan kasi walang kalayaan…” Ang Mga Mananahi is a celebration on the triumphs of human spirit against the adversity of a cruel and ruthless power and a homage to those beautiful thoughts that keep ordinary people together to stand for freedom and lasting peace.
