In celebration of Far Eastern University’s 98th founding anniversary, the FEU Center for the Arts (FCA) will stage a performance of Walang Sugat, a historic and more than century old sarswela written by Severino Reyes with music by Fulgencio Tolentino.
This special production features arrangements and additional music by Josefino Toledo, an FEU Outstanding Alumnus.
Under the direction of Alegria O. Ferrer from the University of the Philippines College of Music, the production brings to life one of the most beloved works in Philippine theater.
The musical direction will be led by Roijin Suarez, Artistic Director of the FEU Chorale.
The cast is composed of both current students and alumni from the FEU Chorale, FEU Theater Guild, and FEU Guides, highlighting the University’s diverse artistic community.
The production will also feature special performances from the FEU Bamboo Band, FEU Dance Company, FEU Theater Guild, FEU Drum and Bugle Corps, and FEU Drummers.
This landmark staging not only celebrates FEU’s 98th year of excellence in education and culture but also commemorates the anniversary of the shot that started the Filipino American War on February 4, 1898.
Walang Sugat revolves around the love story of Tenyong and Julia during the time of revolution. While Tenyong takes up arms in the fight for the nation’s freedom, Julia is confronted with pressure and opposition from her family and the church because of her love for him. Through their story, the sarswela depicts the sacrifices demanded by the struggle for independence and the deep wounds left by war and colonization.
Witness the FEU Center for the Arts’ staging of Walang Sugat on February 4 at 5:30 PM at the FEU Auditorium.
