(PLAY THE NEXT SLIDE)

The Philippines is a country abounding in
homegrown talents, especially when it comes to the
diverse fields of visual and performing arts.

As the years passed, We, Filipinos have conquered

numerous platforms and stages as their talents shone
in singing, dancing, acting, directing and many other
performing acts.

This time, let me discuss first what Theater is, for us

to fully understand the different representative of
Philippine theatrical form.
(PLAY THE NEXT SLIDE ABOUT THEATER

The theater is a place or sphere of reenactment

wherein significant events or actions are
accompanied by music, dance, and production all
working in one accord.
Each theatrical form covers a wide spectrum of
resources and origins. Majority of our performing
arts were derived from historical encounters with the
Spaniards and neighboring countries

(PLAY NEXT SLIDE Shadow Puppet Play)

Back in the year 1898, shadow puppetry had already
begun taking roots in the Philippines.Conceptualized
by the country’s national hero himself,
the carillo was one of the first shadow puppet plays
at the time, and it was staged by Dr. Jose Rizal.
Using a carton and a stick, he positioned these
behind a large, white cloth and used a candle to
illuminate the back of the puppets to create the
shadows.

Shadow puppetry is an ancient art form. performed

on a moonless night during a town fiesta or on dark
nights after a harvest.

They are commonly held together by sticks and

threads intended to support and create the movement
of the puppets. Sometimes, colored translucent
papers are used to give off different colors and
effects to the cut-out expressions, which also depend
on proper blending with light.

(PLAY THE SLIDE ABOUT DANCE DRAMA)

Dance drama is a performance with scenes which are
brought to life mainly through dance. It often has
dialogue and can sometimes have a portion of
singing.
It is popularly used to retell famous national
literature. Accompanied by appropriate music, it
uses expressive body moments and complex gesture
language that reflect real-life actions and recreate
scenes which are delicately acted out.

Sometimes, there are pantomimes, chants and

costumes. Since it is a dance performance, its main
focus would be the precision of movements and
gestures as these create the most impact. However,
just like any other public performances, dance drama
likewise achieves or creates the right ambiance
through the proper use of costumes, props, lighting,
stage setup and many other visual factors.

(PLAY THE SLIDE ABOUT MORO-MORO)

The moro-moro was believed to be created by
Spanish priests. This was the earliest known form of
organized theater featuring Muslim-Christian battles.
All moro-moro plays follow the main plot of a
Muslim-Filipino prince who loved a Christian
princess.
Their differences in religious beliefs became the
main obstacle for their love for each other; thus, this
holds the main flow of the story. Prinsipe Rodante is
one example of a moro-moro.

Local writers would rewrite scripts and dialogues to

ensure that each moro-moro production is different
from each other in terms of music, dance, act
sequences, costumes and props.
The moro-moro is sometimes also called the
comedia.

(PLAY THE SLIDE ABOUT SARSWELA)

Sarswela or Zarzuela is considered the Father of
Drama.

It is a musical comedy or melodrama usually

composed of three acts which all deal with men’ s
passion and emotions such as love, hate, revenge,
cruelty, avarice (greed) or even political problems.
Since zarzuelas are generally nationalistic in theme
and plot, actors and actresses would usually wear
their traditional costumes such as the Filipiniana,
Barong Tagalog, and other local attire in the featured
era.

The props and stage design would also be inspired

by traditional. Though the zarzuela may seem
similar with other performances that are
accompanied by song and dance, it remains unique
as it depicts stories told in integrated local folklore
and is carried through the alternating combination of
song and speech, vocal ensembles, folk music and
dance.

(PLAY THE SLIDE ABOUT SENAKULO)

Senakulo or cenaculo is a dramatic performance
portraying the Passion and death of Jesus Christ.

It is usually done during the Lenten season

It takes at least eight days to be performed, usually
starting on Palm Sunday and lasting until Easter
Sunday.

These adaptations still manage to showcase the same

story line and messages usually inspired by Biblical
stories from the Old and New Testaments.

As for the costumes and props used in senakulo,

these are also inspired by the Biblical times and are
intended to create a historically authentic portrayal
in the performance.

GENERALIZATION
How does the theatrical forms stated held a very
significant role in the lives of the ancient
Filipinos?

The theatrical forms we discussed held a very

significant role in the lives of the ancient Filipinos as
there were no televisions or other forms of mass
media at the time that could provide wider audiences
with the chance to witness a creative performance.
Whether it was for siesta time or for an important
occasion, theatrical performances were a valuable
source of enjoyment and fulfillment for both the
participating artists and the eager audience. They
long served as recreational plays, and were the
traditional counterparts of the concerts and shows of
today.
