Tanghalang Pilipino: Mabining Mandirigma
The return of the warrior. The mind that shaped a nation.
To mark its 10th anniversary, the multi-awarded Mabining Mandirigma returns to the stage with a braver and more intimate staging. This steampunk musical follows the life of Apolinario Mabini. Through his intellect and principles, Mabini called on Filipinos to rise above class, region, and self-interest in order to build a nation. Originally staged in 2015 and honored with 12 Gawad Buhay Awards, Mabining Mandirigma remains a powerful reminder of what it means to lead with purpose.
