Through this production, we reaffirm our commitment to using the power of theater to confront social issues and to serve as a catalyst for change,” said Tanya P. Lopez, Artistic Director of The Performance Laboratory and the play’s Director. Bienvenido Noriega Jr.’s Batang Pro reminds us of the humanity of those who endure hardship and compels us to take action against all forms of violence and discrimination.
This staging is part of The Performance Laboratory’s Feed Your Soul 2024 season, which emphasizes the transformative power of theater to inspire empathy and understanding. By aligning Batang Pro with the 16 Days of Activism, PerfLab continues its advocacy for inclusive socially engaged artistic expression.

It invites individuals and organizations around the world to mobilize in support of ending violence against women and girls in all its forms.
