When does one’s loyalty to an organization begin and eventually end? Does coercion have a place in the imposition of power? These are among the many questions at the heart of Palanca Award-winning playwright Tim Dacanay’s “Pamantasang Hirang (Sa Dilim Man),” which will have a comeback at the Black Box of De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde.

First presented at the Virgin Labfest 4 in 2008, Pamantasang Hirang is a one-act play on a fictional fraternity at the state university. Dan, the dormmate of Raji, learns that the initiation rite of his former fraternity will be conducted in their room. He soon finds out that the man behind the activity was his former classmate and now congressman Chok Villanueva.
