According to Teatro Kapamilya, The Art of Breaking Up traces the “tender, messy, and other times funny unraveling of love.” It’s set to follow couples who will be undergoing several emotional points in their relationship–– slowly learning how to let go.
“Through fleeting moments and intertwined lives, it follows couples as they fall apart, cling on, and slowly learn to let go, revealing the complexity of human connection in all its warmth, confusion, and heartbreak,” Teatro Kapamilya shared.
Brent is set to play the role of Jake while Yen will be portraying Gab in the stage play. No other details of their characters have been shared as of writing.
