Tanghalang Ateneo presents Molière’s Tartuffe o Ang Manloloko - Opens March 2023

-

Tanghalang Ateneo, the longest-running theater company of the Loyola Schools of Ateneo de Manila, will be showcasing in its 44th Theater Season, Reformatio | Pagbabagong-hugis, a full-length adaptation of the classic theatrical comedy Tartuffe o Ang Manloloko as translated by National Artist Rolando S. Tinio, and directed by seasoned director Ron Capinding Tartuffe follows the story of the pious fraud Tartuffe’s growing influence over socially-conscious Orgon and his mother, Madame Pernelle, which leads Orgon’s family to make the pair discover his hypocrisy and pretentious divine authority. However, a series of events unintentionally embed Tartuffe, once a vagrant, well into the family that they risk losing everything if he gets his way. Together, Orgon’s family tries to unravel the reality within Tartuffe and escape their family’s impending disgrace and dispossession.

In line with Tanghalang Ateneo’s 44th season aptly themed Reformatio | Pagbabagong-hugis, the retelling of this classic aims to underscore several issues, notably values in society instituted by people in power for their gain in the power struggle; when faced with deceit and hypocrisy, will the truth ever prevail?
