Philippine theater comes in a variety of forms, and these includes religious and non-religious acts of production usually
shown or performed during festivals covering a wide spectrum of resources and origins. Most of which are influenced by the
Spanish and other Asian countries. Since the time of Dr. Jose Rizal, national hero, in the year 1898, Shadow Puppetry had
already been formed in the Philippines when he staged the play entitled “Carillo”. Rizal used a carton and a stick and he
positioned this at the back of a large white cloth using a candle to illuminate the back of the puppets to create the shadows.
Shadow Puppetry or Shadow Play is an ancient Art form that uses flat, expressed figures to
produce cut-out figures which are held together by sticks and sometimes threads to create to
create movement which are shown behind a thin layer of cloth or screen and alight source to
create the shadows. Shadow play is popular among various cultures and countries and has a long
history of tradition, but the known origin was from a Chinese Legend that traces Shadow Theater
or puppetry when a court magician comforted a gloomy emperor by “Conjuring up” his departed
wife.
The earliest known form of organized theater is the Comedia or Moro-Moro, created by the
Spanish priests. It is usually performed during festivals or fiestas, and is performed in villages
throughout the Philippines. Each performance for each village differ from one another on how it is
treated through retelling, but all are full of romance, melodrama, and the highlight which is the
battle between the Christians and Muslim. All Moro-Moro plays follow a pattern of a love affair
between a Muslim-Filipino prince and a Christian princess. Moros were portrayed as perpetual
villains who always lost to Christians in the end. It depicts battles, in a rather comedic way,
between Christians and Moros as Muslims in the Philippines prefer to be called.
In the Philippines, the Sarswela or Zarzuela is a play with song and dances usually written in
prose, depicting the peculiarity or romantic love among idealized Filipino characters that are
often accompanied by topics of contemporary social, political, economic or cultural issues for
relevance and added interest. Originating from the Spanish form of musical-theater, the dramatic
action carried through the alternating combination of song and speech, and incorporates vocal
ensembles, various types of folk music and dance. Zarzuelas are usually nationalistic in theme and
plot and are showcased by actors and actresses wearing traditional costumes, our Filipinianas,
Barong Tagalogs and other local wear in the conventional era. Philippines sarswela depicts storied
told in integrated local folklore, projected by the actor characteristics in costumes, and traditional
Filipino inspired props. Some of these props are made out of materials made from local resources
such as capiz and rattan.
