"TATAY MONG KALBO"
Last friday we watched a play called "Ang tatay mong kalbo". Honestly i dont have any idea what is the play about. But it made me interested so i continue to watch it. And also because i like watching plays and see how actors act proffesionally.
The play starts with a couple named Mr. and Mrs. Santos. They are at their house talking about random things. The couple are actually funny and sweet at the same time. They also have a maid named maria. And he is also funny. Then after a few minutes some visitors arrived. They are Mr. and Mrs. Reyes. These couple were unusual because they are acting crazy. They act like they dont know each other. They make us confused and happy at the same time. Then later on, they are joined by a local fire chief which is also maria's love interest. And they really make us laugh because of it. On the whole act, the two families just argues in meaningless reasons and telling stories to each other.
But even if the play was like that, it was good and the actors were good also. I just dont get why it is entitled "ang tatay mong kalbo" cause i dont see any connections. As i observed in their play, as the fire chief is about to leave he asks where is "tatay mong kalbo" and Mrs. Santos just replied that he is still styling his hair the same way. After that scene i still dont get it.
In our wolrd literature subject, i learned that this play is part of the genre "theater of the absurd" Its like a parody of a performance thats why its like that. Its like the author wants a new beginning every end of the play because the story just repeat but with different characters. Its a cool idea but also very confusing.
Overall, i really enjoyed watching the play and if i get another chance, ill repeat watching it over and over again.
I agree! I am amazed how professional the actors were when it comes to acting and I find the play really interesting as well. c:
ReplyDeleteI also don't get it when I'm watching the play, like what are they talking about. And after some reviewing of it, I realize that it is a absurd play. Talking nonsense things, meaningless conversation and repetitive words. But over all I realy love the play.
ReplyDeletewe may find it hard to think on what was the idea of their play.. but what most important is the question about, is there are part of the play that might be useful for us in the near future? because it's not about how they performed the play well, it's about what was the lesson that we can get there!
