MANILA, PHILIPPINES — JAPS Collectives, in partnership with World Theater Productions Guam/Manila, announces the run of LAST DANCE – HUBO’T HUBAD, an original queer ensemble play running on select dates from September 29 to October 29, 2026, at Halxyon Club in Poblacion, Makati.
Written and directed by German-Filipino actor, singer, and director Jojo Urquico (Artistic Director of World Theater Productions), the play marks Urquico’s debut as a playwright. Set inside the dressing room of a struggling male revue bar in Manila on its potential final night, the story unfolds against the backdrop of a raging storm and an impending police raid. Five performers prepare for one last show while confronting abandoned dreams, hidden identities, and the personal sacrifices made to survive.
