‘Dedma’
📅 When: Ongoing until April 13 | 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.
📍 Where: Mirror Studio Theatre 2, Makati City

"Dedma" is a twin-bill production featuring two original scripts: "Let’s Do Lunch" and "The Foxtrot," both penned by Theatre Titas co-founder Chesie Galvez-Cariño. "Let’s Do Lunch" follows a catch-up between two old friends that quickly deteriorates as the power dynamic shifts from pleasantries to passive aggression. "The Foxtrot" offers a glimpse into the tense relationship between a dance instructor and a wealthy matron during their final rehearsal for an amateur ballroom dancing competition.

With its daring perspective and poignant relevance, "Pilato" reexamines the so-called "greatest story ever told"—the trial and crucifixion of Jesus Christ—through the eyes of Poncio Pilato, a man caught at the crossroads of power, faith, and duty. As Holy Week invites reflection and the country nears the critical 2025 elections, "Pilato" serves as a vital meditation on truth in all its complexity.
