AFTER several sold-out runs in Manila, the Theatre Titas production of Juan Ekis’ “Twenty Questions” makes its way to Davao, with help from friends of Educhild.
Founded on the principle that the parents are the primary educators of their children and that a harmonious spousal relationship is a vital foundation for effective parenting, Educhild conducts research, workshops, seminars, and conferences where parents, students, educators, and other professionals can acquire valid principles, techniques, attitudes and values on marriage, family life, and child upbringing.
“Twenty Questions” is a one-act play that finds college friends Jigs and Yumi locked in a hotel room for 24 hours as part of an annual barkada tradition. To pass the time, they partake in a game of “Twenty Questions”, which forces them to open up to each other and talk about their views on love, life, and sex.
First penned in 2003, the Gen-Zfied treatment by director Cheese Mendez explores how ideas about relationships written two decades ago might still resonate with today’s audience and their points of view.
How do today’s youth understand love? Are love and sex mutually exclusive?
“Twenty Questions’ obviously now has a life of its own. Sometimes when I watch ‘Twenty Questions’ I ask myself, ‘Did I really write this?’ And it being sold out during the last run shows how it is still relevant to today’s youth. In an era when falling in love has become a myth, we still need plays that remind us it is real. I thank Cheese and the Titas for telling this story again in a way that resonates with today’s generation,” Juan Ekis writes.
“Twenty Questions” stars Jel Tarun as Jigs and Isabelle Prado as Yumi.
“Twenty Questions” will run from September 6-7 at the Kota Study Center, with an 8 pm performance on the 6th, and a 3 pm and 8 pm show on the 7th.
Tickets can be purchased through teeq.live at P800 each for orders up to 2 tickets, P750 each for orders of 3 to 10 tickets, and P700 each for orders of 11 tickets or more.
