Ang Mahiwagang Biyulin (The Enchanted Violin)
The story was effectively and clearly portrayed by the show. I was able to understand it because there is a tutorial of how the ballet dancers would portray it before the show starts. The way the dancers sway and jump on the floor, their posture, and their costumes really made the ballet show portray the story clearly. The dancers were able to depict the characters in a way the audience can easily grasp the theme and plot of the story. The story is a short story and it consists of very few characters that made the story very simple to render it to a ballet show. Furthermore, the storys success was through the characters actions not through the way they speak and that made it possible for the efficient depiction of the story. Ballet uses body language. The dancers use their bodies to create movements, which they exaggerate and abstracted to a dance to project infinite numbers of feelings and emotions. The bodies of the dancers tell the story about the feelings of the characters. The audience naturally read the emotions and feelings of the people performing on the stage. The choreographers also did not overdo the dance because when the dancers show too much emotion and feelings they cant portray the story and thus the story becomes an abstract. They connected the structure of their dance to the human movements to create a visual impact on the audience and for them to reach out to as many people as possible. Lastly, the show was able to recognize the audiences are in their appropriate age to understand the story because of their academic achievement and knowledge about short stories.
