i've just decided to post about that! well some people might be interested... so here it is
Summary.
The production presented three stories
of the famous Lola Basyang--'And Prinsipe
ng mga Ibon', Ang Kapatid ng tatlong Maria, and 'Ang Mahiwagang Byolin'.
'Ang
Prinsipe ng mga Ibon' was about Princess Singsing who fell in love with the
prince of the bird. His father, the king was definitely against their relationship
and had make sure that the two will never see each other again. that saddened
the princess but the king was firm on his decision. However, one day, their
town was attacked by monsters. the town was almost conquered, till the birds
came and rescued the townspeople. The bird-prince, together with his
subordinates defeated the monsters. the townspeople were in debt to them. the princess
requested that she may marry the bird-prince. The king hesitated but he has no
choice since the princess was so determined. The king allowed the princess and
so the princess turned into a bird and marry the bird-prince.
'And
Kapatid ng tatlong Maria' was about a family who learned a living through
curing people via herbal medicines. One day, he was punished for cutting down a
tree which is protected by an enchanted spirit and so the man's three daughters
were taken. After some time, he had a son named Pedro. He then requested Pedro
to look for his sisters; his mother gave him three handkerchief that he must
show to his sisters for the to remember their family. Pedro went on to his
journey. his sisters were found living within three different kingdoms and were
married to kings of sea creatures, birds and fierce animals. her sisters
recognized him through the handkerchief and was given a gifts. Pedro went home
happily bringing his three sisters, with their husbands back home.
'Ang
Mahiwagang Byolin' was about Rodrigo, a poor man who wanted to help his
parents and decided to set off to work. He worked under his master Ahab for two
years only to get two pesos for his salary. One day, Rodrigo helped an old
woman by feeding her, and the only woman rewarded her with a violin. Rodrigo
realized that the violin can make people dance and do funny stuff. He used it
to get back on his tormentor. Ahab pleaded to Rodrigo to stop and he paid him. After
some time, Rodrigo was seized by the guards because Ahab filed a death penalty
against him. Rodrigo requested that for the last time, he must lay his violin.
his wish was granted and therefore everyone danced. The truth was revealed and
Rodrigo was set free.'
Highlights.
Through the production, it was shown
that the ballet dance is really a 'dance of the elite'. The production itself
featured Lisa Macuja-Elizalde
herself. I liked most of the parts since it is not that boring. the production
was a comedy---well sort of. but still you can see how great and smooth the
dance was. the narrative was like the typical Lola Basyang-telling-the-kids-how-the-story-goes.
It was like reminiscing the past.
----------------------------------------------------------
I am familiar with the stories of
Lola Basyang since I've heard those when I was little and I've watched some in
the televisions, but this time, I've got to watch a ballet dance narrated by
Lola Basyang. Well, that interests me. it was my first time watching a ballet
production. Honestly, I wasn't moved that much by the twists and turns of the
performance since I'm not really a fan of ballet. Though I find the whole
production entertaining. It was funny and I was laughing most of the tie during
the production. The last part was about the violinist; I remembered when I was
younger, I dreamt of studying on how to play a violin and in the future, I'd be
able to play in front of the public. I just thought, that the violin was really
magical that even a poor guy, who've never been able to touch a violin in his
whole life had learned to play a piece without any practice.
People, you just got to drop by Aliw theater, CCP complex corner, and watch! it's worth-it.
