A Tragic Comedy


“Orosman at Zafira”
A review by madispoint03 on wordpress.com
THE STORY
I was endowed as well that each line they chant is a verse from a poem. Like that of Francisco Baltazar’s magnificent work “Florante at Laura”, without knowing that “Orosman at Zafira” was a work of the same author. This inkling sense of mine had just struck me upon listening to every verse they sing. Every verse has a profound meaning that pierces to one’s very soul. Every verse lulls its way to your heart. Every verse unconsciously makes one be hopeful despite a hopeless romantic life. And every verse as sang by each actors and actresses gives life to the dreams and aspirations of the author. The story seems to be hanging because Zafira had not chose to redeem what was passed to Orosman. And people, I believe, do expect of a happy ending wherein Orosman and Zafira would be reunited together. But it left the audience with so many questions. It’s like we are going to speculate our own ending. The reality also exists in the story – the lust of power and to covet what is prerogative to one. Not only lust but also jealousy and enviousness – no one can hinder no matter what.
