The open-air Maquiling Performance Garden in the University of the Philippines-Los Baños once again becomes a venue for theater performances with the staging of the German postmodern masterpiece “Offending the Audience,” written by Peter Handke, in a Filipino translation by UPLB faculty of literature and young playwright Om Narayan Velasco, under the direction of Joey Ting.
