VLF prioritizes safety, revisits classics

Just like last year's edition, the annual Virgin Labfest (VLF) is powering through amid the pandemic and continuing its tradition online. But unlike like last year when VLF was able to present 10 new titles, this year's edition — streaming from November 24 to December 5 on the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), VLF, and Tanghalang Pilipino Facebook pages — will revisit classic works from VLF 1 to 15.

'In 2020, at the early stage of the global pandemic, the Virgin Labfest community of artists and cultural workers spearheaded processes and new possibilities of staging and presenting performances for audiences in the Philippines and the world,' CCP Vice President and artistic director Chris Millado shared at VLF's online media conference.
