Noli Me Tangere, The Musical

Directed by Audie Gemora
Libretto by Bienvenido Lumbera
Music by Ryan Cayabyab

“Jose Rizal was many things - a doctor of medicine, a man

of science, a linguist, a sculptor, a historian, a journalist, a
novelist, but above all, a poet. He loved words and learned
to use them well. He learned to use them as his weapon,
speaking in daggers but using none. It was never his
ambition to be a leader of a bloody revolution. But play the
hero he did in the end, when force of circumstance pushed
him to make the ultimate sacrifice - die for his beliefs; die so
a nation can be born: the Filipino nation."
- Nonon Padilla, founder of Tanghalang Filipino

The critically acclaimed musical adapted by Ryan Cayabyab

from Rizal's most famous work with libretto by National Artist
Bienvenido Lumbera and costumes by National Artist Salvador
Bernal is restaged in honour of Jose Rizal's 150th birthday.

This production of NOLI ME TANGERE, in coordination with

the Department of Education (DepEd), will also serve as the
launch of the National Campaign urging high school students to join forces with the Kabataang Rizal
Movement in order to promote the ideals of Rizal and his vision for the Philippines.
