After three months since the last run of Ikabod,
It's time for AGHAM Theatre Company
to rock & roll once again for the rerun of the Musical Play.
I was given the lead role of the play Ikabod as you all remember
I played the role of Ping before.
The problem is, the costume (specially the head dress) doesn't look good to me because i look like a gangster so they decided to change my costume to a more colorful one.

Give me the SPOTLIGHT

It's been a year since i had my single spotlight as a theater actor
that's why i'm SUPER EXCITED to step on it again.
Do i look like Michael Jackson? COOL!!!

Painting

I was in our office when i saw paintings submitted by D.A(digital-arts) students as part of the requirement for the completion of their grades
and this one caught my attention.
I ask permission to my adviser since
I'm not supposed to post this painting because it doesn't belong to me.


Tell me,
Am i the cutest rat of all?",)

IKABOD


The musical play Ikabod is based on an ancient belief that rats are souls trapped in transition before evolving to a next life level; that of becoming humans. These rats have to arrive at a certain realization before being allowed to enter the gates of higher being.

However, hilarious as it may be, the guardians to these coveted gates are cats! And so it has been told that cats chase rats in order to ward them off from entering the gates, to adhere to the order of allowing only three rats (sorry, souls!) to enter humandom only once a year, on a full moon. Countless number of rats race to prove to the cats their worth as deserving of the cross-over.

Ikabod, a restless and discontented rat with an attitude, does everything to prove himself to the cats. The conflict and humor ensues when Daguita, Ikabod's femme fatale rat girlfriend, presents another point of view.

Contemporary as it may be, this play presents the classic ideals and values, including the choices we have to make in life. Laced with Original Pilipino Music, immersed in rock and roll arrangements, the play presents a light, almost whimsical, and hilarious treatment that will give its audience a careful check on values, existence and purpose. What else can be better than presenting this with the beautiful lyrics of familiar music to our sensibilities as rats (sorry, humans!).
