International theater and film director Anton Juan visited West Visayas State University on March 28 to propose a musical focusing on Filipino migrants, to be performed by the College of PESCAR’s, TeatroTayo.
During his meeting with WVSU President Joselito F. Villaruz, Juan expressed appreciation for the leadership of TeatroTayo directors Jemuel Garcia and Ryan Puljanan, both faculty members of the College of PESCAR, under the guidance of Dean Porferio J. Barlas.
The proposed musical aims to highlight the experiences of Filipino migrants, furthering TeatroTayo’s commitment to producing socially relevant performances.
This initiative follows the company’s recent adaptation of Shakespeare’s “Titus Andronicus,” titled “Titus Tan,” which received acclaim for its innovative approach.
Juan’s collaboration with WVSU seeks to enrich the university’s cultural offerings and provide students with opportunities to engage in meaningful theatrical productions.
