Moro – Moro / Zarzuela
This literary form is often present in different
festivals and barangay fiestas. Traditional musical
plays centers on the rich history or colorful origin of
the place, thus is usually set before or during Spanish
regime. Legends are sometimes given the stage,
reintroducing to the people a part of their heritage.
But contemporary versions are also welcomed, especially
in big celebrations, fostering the budding creativity of
local literary artists. Most use the vernacular dialect
but are now more inclined to use Filipino, to reach more
audiences.
The youth are often the active participants in these
undertakings. And the adults readily share the art of
living up the heart of the script of the musical play on
stage to these young flames.
