Anak Ti Diablo

An Ilocano term for Children of the Devil, Anak Ti Diablo is loosely
adapted from Plautus’ Haunted House. Set in modern day
Daly City, the play focuses on the members of Anak ti
Diablo, a Pilipino-American punk rock band who gets
entangled with a notorious leg breaking loan shark, an
absurdly pious Catholic mother, a barrio fiesta beauty
pageant wannabe and an ex-thief turned exorcism
expert. The play’s action is energized when the
characters break into thrash metal riffs and ominous
gong beats to exorcise the ghosts of the past and
summon the spirits of colonial history. In the end
everyone rocks out.
