Inspired from the Philippine Stagers Foundation
It Was You
Neil Virgille I. Saldo

I never wanted history in my life. It’s full of chronological records of significant of events, events that form the subject, and evens that are arranged in order of time usually without analysis or interpretation. And also there would be an argument between histories vs. art. But there is someone who pushes me to history and combines it with art. Someone wanted me to watch his play. I arrived at the theater arena. Crowd was murmuring and waiting for the show start. As the lights were off, it was dark like there is no single star and moon in the sky. After a few seconds, the lights were blinking like fireflies at night as fast and as bright as it could, casts were running here and there at the uplifted stage, singing and dancing… and there you go the show has just begun. The play collides with a modern rock and a Filipino classical music in distinguishable fashion to bring out across Jose Rizal’s life. It was not a one-side play but a three-act musical play. One is the love life of Rizal. Two, is the love triangle relationship of the casts creating the play. And three, is on how to make a play. It leans for about two hours without any gap. In the play, they were making a play as the play. The whole kit of caboodle of companion at school unites after 12 years of advanced exercise in horsemanship to stand a good stead with their classmate in a melodious play about Rizal. The motif around Rizal is the retraction statement in order to have matrimony with Josephine Bracken. The performance starts to be convoluted as it stabs to parallel this senescent times with the newfangled times of history vs. art. It was so eloquent and pleasurable. The mechanical sounds having rhythm and the poetical compositions for the two mellifluous parts conflates faultlessly. The composition created by this art is reputable specifically the reposition of current reverse to impersonate Rizal’s stumble after being shot. The outfits were

    A short play is usually filled with a theatrical energy of diverse anthologies. The time allotted may be only ten or fifteen minutes, so it must be able to capture and engage the audience with some dramatic tension, exciting action, or witty humor. Just as in a short story, a great deal of the explanation and background is left for the reader or viewer to discover on their own. Because all the details are not explicitly stated, each viewer interprets the action in their own way and each experience is unique from someone else viewing the same play. Conflict is the main aspect that drives any work of literature, and plays usually consist of some form of conflict. In “Playwriting 101: The Rooftop Lesson,” Rich Orloff explores these common elements of plays and creates an original by “gathering all clichés into one story and satirizing them” (Orloff as cited by Meyer, 2009, p. 1352).…

    Studying history is interesting to me because you can see the difference from other areas and eras and compare them to present day. I also love to learn about wars, why they started and how they changed the world. I don’t like how we never seem to get the full picture. Somebody’s side of the story is lost, or not told correctly. I would like it much more if we had more information about everything.…

    The hall was noisy before the concert start. I could hear that everyone was so excited to talk about how the play will be. Soon, the play started. Suddenly the concert was so quiet because everyone stops talking almost at the same time as soon as the music rings. It’s the practices before the real show start. After a few minutes of prelude, the conductor came out in warm applause. He introduced himself and started the first songs.…

    Throughout my entire life, I have been the outcast that loves history. I remember my peers being flourished by science, math, and art; subjects that didn’t interest me. I found a love for history in 3rd grade, when my teacher would speak passionately about the impact of Dr. King Jr. and the hardships of the Great Depression. My fascination towards history ultimately led me to my interest in government.…

    I have chosen to study History because I believe it is the most important and relevant subject there is. I have a desire to understand the social and economic processes that have produced modern society. History has fascinated me since early childhood, when I loved to visit museums and historical sites. As an academic subject, my love for History was triggered when I studied the Second World War as a 10 year old. I could not believe the immense impact it had on the world, and the sheer scale of it. It in turn had a huge impact on me, and consolidated my love for the subject.…

    On arrival in the theatre forum, the first thing that my eyes were drawn to was the minimalistic, bare stage where there what looks like a ripped paper strip all the way across the top of the stage, looking like a banner which is a brechtian technique. To include there was also a simple box on stage, which was centre stage right. Then what caught my attention next was the lighting, which had freznel and flood lights on at that point in time which gave off a bright white light, giving the whole theatre neutral atmosphere until play is about to start. The floor of the stage looked like tarmac/concrete giving it a hard solid feel, making the stage look and feel cold, dull and bare. The whole stage made everyone in the audience wonder what was going on and guess for what was going to happen on stage when the play starts.…

    For me, being on a stage brings a sense of home and peacefulness. It's where I belong. But I didn’t always feel this way. I had started theatre my sophomore year and had anticipated on continuing during my junior year, but was sadly hindered from continuing. I had all my classes set, but theatre hadn't managed to fit. So I sat back, riding my way through junior year while continuing to audition and help the theatre department. This all drastically changed the weeks preceding winter break.…

    History is what shapes our daily lives. All the past events such as fights for justice and freedom make it possible to survive in today’s day and age. In the past many people were discriminated against because of the color of their skin while others were forced and bullied to move off of their own premises just because others had that authority. A lot of history that is learned about and recognized is because of the works and writings available for us to read. Through literature we learn a lot of untold stories.…
