MUNTINLUPA CITY - The students, faculty, staff, and other stakeholders of Lyceum of Alabang are very fortunate to witness this year's Hiraya Theatre Production's original stage play 'Sina DASAL'. On May 19, 2019, the play production is brought to life at the DVA Gymnasium in front of the entire Lycean community. It is performed twice to cater to the big number of students; one at 11:00 AM and the second one is at 4:00 PM for those with evening schedule.
Penned and directed by Rommel "Chaps" Manansala, this original story tackles different themes surrounding a typical Filipino family composed of Sarah, the mother of three children who is diagnosed with dementia; Amana, the eldest, a nurse; Levy, a married man who continuously holds a grudge against his estranged father Solomon; and, Aaron, the youngest sibling with an ambition to go abroad.
Although aims to elicit tears from its viewers, the play also presents music, comedy and values integration, particularly with the side characters David and Simang.
'Sina DASAL' is a hybrid of everything where one is not sure about what the plot is really all about, but culminates into a celebration of family, love, forgiveness, and compassion. The play also offers tons of surprises that surely put its viewers on a standing ovation.

ReplyDeleteSYNOPSIS
The play started as the characters are portraying different kinds of prayer by singing and dancing. As the characters have stopped singing, it was transitioned with the birthday celebration of Mama Sarah, who was the mother of Amana, the oldest who has a daughter named rose, Aaron, and Leviticus. She is the wife of Solomon. In the middle of the celebration, Sarah started feeling dizzy and consulted her doctor. She is diagnosed with dementia. It is when their father, Solomon, came back to their home along with David, who was accompanying Solomon. Many problems kept occurring in their family. Aaron wanted to work abroad but he is positive in H.I.V and it’s holding him from going. Leviticus, a married man who continuously holds a grudge against his estranged father and he keeps resenting him when Solomon went back to their House. Aaron discovered that he’s adapted and was resented by his foster father Solomon and found out that the real father was David. At the end they still manage to settle things as a family and forget the past. But there was a man who appeared in their house. The man took out a gun and killed mama Sarah.
