About the Event
The 33rd installment of the longest-running musical comedy variety show in the country is set for restaging due to popular demand.
After the influx of positive reviews and applauses on social media, netizens have been asking for a rerun of UP SAMASKOM’s “Live A.I.D.S. G na G sa 33” after its initial staging on June 21-23 at Abelardo Hall, UP College of Music.
The comedy theatrical series, Live A.I.D.S., which stands for “Live Ang Istoryang Dinebelop ng Samaskom”, is the show that gave rise to renowned comedians and celebrities of today such as KaladKaren Davila, Tuesday Vargas, Giselle Sanchez, Ate Glo, RS Francisco, and many more. It is written, produced, and performed by resident and alumni members of UP Diliman-based student organization, UP Samahan ng Mag-aaral sa Komunikasyon or UP SAMASKOM.
The decades-long show has always been about pop culture, current events, and trending topics, and this year’s show gave the audience all three— and more! Live A.I.D.S. 33, directed by Deo Divinagracia, is a refreshing take on the country’s current state. It differs from its predecessors for it is lauded as the bravest socio-political commentary UP SAMASKOM has staged in recent years.
The humor and hilarity Live A.I.D.S. has been known for did not go amiss despite its fearless portrayal of prominent political figures and pressing social issues. Impersonations such as Inday Zara D., Rodrigo Du30, Maria T. Resa, Heart Marie E., and more got the audiences shaking with laughter. Even pop culture references BuKol’s Drag Race, based on the hit reality TV series, and Karma Mia, based on the controversial local teleserye, were laced with social and political insinuations.
“Live A.I.D.S. G na G sa 33” responded to the call of the times and used the platform as a wake-up call to its audience. Don’t miss out on the fun, laughter, and grit and catch the rerun for the last time! Watch “LIVE A.I.D.S.
