Description

Sa rikit ng Bayan ng Sempurna, tunay ngang nakahuhumaling itong muling balikan.⁣

Areté and Tanghalang Ateneo proudly presents Sintang Dalisay, adapted and directed by the late Dr. Ricardo G. Abad and Guelan Varela-Luarca,to be restaged this February at Areté's Hyundai Hall.⁣

Set in an imagined Muslim community in Southern Philippines, Sintang Dalisay is an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet — now named Rashiddin and Jamila, a pair of star-crossed lovers caught in a generations-long feud between their families, the Mustaphas and Kalimuddins.⁣

The two lovers must navigate their secret love through the rough seas of hate and violence. This tale is told through the emotive, evocative, and sensual undulations of the Igal, a traditional dance of the Sama-Bajau people, and the enchanting neo-ethnic and gamelan music, weaving Shakespeare’s tragedy of fate with the Filipino sense of festive love and enduring hope.⁣
