MANIACAL : An adoptation from Moliere's Les Femmes Savantes

I was once been part of theater production during my younger days. Memorizing script, Rehearsing my acts, counting my dance steps and of course fitting my costumes. I am liable for myself, for whatever mistake i commit when I'm on my act. I don't rely myself unto others because their actions wont reflect my result. Maniacal is a story behind every theater actors crafts and career.

...Now looking forward for more Theater shows not only from the casts but also from the production itself. Ka-Chow! 

 Maniacal Set

Maniacal is adapted from Moliere’s Les Femmes Savantes, Maniacal transports the play’s seventeenth century bourgeoisie and setting to present day Manila and a group of theater and film artists grappling with the “pretentious intellectualism” in creating art.  

Maniacal recreates Moliere’s Commedia Dell’arte characters to satirize the foibles and travails of artists who over-intellectualizes their craft while trying to make a living.
