MANILA, Philippines—There is a new buzz in town that is breaking stereotypes and revolutionizing conversations surrounding manhood, machismo, and the male genitalia in various perspectives.
The stage preview/excerpt night of the controversial V-Roll Media production, the stage play DickTalk at the Mowelfund Dengcar Theater in Quezon City, saw each of the five characters, played by mainstream and independent actors, portraying and voicing out their no-holds-barred sentiments on manhood and masculinity.
Under the direction of Phil Noble and produced by V-Roll Media Ventures and Trifecta Brand Lab, DickTalk is set to stage ten shows during its limited run at the RCBC Theater from April 15-23, 2023.
Led by a cast of five actors in what is touted as their bravest performances yet, DickTalk delves into the deep social issues on sexuality and relationships, exposing the complex web of pressures and expectations that shape men’s lives.

Inspired by the 1996 The Vagina Monologues, DickTalk presents five individual characters who embody the five unique stories of men—a teenager (Gold Aceron), a trans man (Nil Nodalo), a sex worker (Jake Cuenca), a metrosexual (Mikoy Morales), and an old man (Archi Adamos).
These colorful characters were born from the production’s concept creator, Edwin Vinarao, along with writers Ara Vicencio and Benj Cruz Garcia. The creative team molded each character with relatable experiences in a comedic yet insightful way that will open up a space for men to share their stories and explore the full range of their emotions.

DickTalk aims to create a platform for its viewers to broaden their horizons, challenge assumptions, and encourage everyone to participate in the discussion about what it means to be a man.
