How to examine the

Antigong Agong

On Poetics

Diction

Antigong Agong's diction was combined with the use of the Tausug language, and with Tagalog and English. It really made the play believable to that sense. Though some of them had difficulties with speaking Tagalog and English..tsk. Struggling pero okay naman ang pagkakadeliver ng lines.

Thought

According to Aristotle, thought and diction come hand in hand. Kung okay ang pgkkadeliver, okay ang thought. Whatever the characters are uttering, the meanings behind those words should come out. In the play, the characters had shown the Tausug concept and the Budahu incident appropriately with the way they spoke and acted. They also used appropriate facial expressions and gestures in order for them to impart the essence of the story to their audience.

Spectacle

Aristotle said that, spectacle refers to the overall stage performance. The totality of the play was really appreciated by the audience. I even asked my Atenean friends because the Antigong Agong was also shown in their school, and they spoke the same enthusiasm. The whole production really exerted effort for this play to came out really great. Sayang nga lang, they underestimated the power of make-up. Kulang na kulang. They really looked pale on stage. But nevertheless, if their aim was to look as natural as possible, well then, they over achieved it. :)

Melody

All throughout the play, Antigong Agong catered how magical and enticing the Tausug culture is because of how they played their musical instruments. I was really glued to their performance because their original music compositions really made the audience impressed.

There's no second where you could not have enjoyed it. =)
