TIPSY TALES BRINGS US TO THE OTHER SIDE OF MAGICAL WORLD
When I was younger, my cousins and I used to sleep over at grandma's house. She will prepare our beds and give us a bed time stories, our favorite will be stories about supernatural creatures like Nuno sa punso (dwarf), Duwende (Elf), Tikbalang (Filipino Centaur) and mermaids. And as a kid, we used to believe it was true. But as we grow older we tend to forget about them.
We, Filipinos, do have a lot of folklore and Tipsy Tales used that to create an immersive theater show.
OK! you guys know that I really love watching theatrical shows, I've done and written a theater play too back when I was in college, so I know how hard it is to come up with an original play.
Tipsy Tales created a show called LAMBANA, unlike with other theater play this one is immersive meaning you are part of the play. You are also going to participate by showcasing your acting skills but it doesn't end with that. Think of it as if you are entering an escape room, wherein your every decision affects the whole story. Sounds exciting right?
RATING BASE ON OUR EXPERIENCE:
Settings & Costume Designs: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Kudos to the propsman, set design, make-up artist, they really make sure that every rooms that you will enter is really different from the other.
LIGHTS & SOUNDS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
It really sets up the mood especially in the beginning. Yet, I have to suggest aside from flickering lights, add parcan lights during the fight scene to add drama so that we can fully appreciate the casting spells of the actors.
ACTORS: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Superb acting!
We actually choose the English version of this play (There's two version tagalog and English) and we enjoyed it, how far if it is tagalog? baka di na kami umalis sa Lambana haha
Well modulated for the voice and good diction. You will give your best acting skills here because their acting will convince you to act also.
STORY: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Since it was you who are deciding how the story flows, it was indeed a great concept. There's also a moral lesson here so it's perfect for family and friends.
OVERALL RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.5 / 5
For 75 minutes, this theater show will give you a unique experience to wander to a place only exist in your grandmother's story and together with your anxiousness, curiosity and adrenaline it was a play you should explore.
P.S
They told me that they are now writing their second play but this show will be more matured. Another play we shouldn't miss.
