Let's all be realistic. We are all living and breathing in this real world with real things around us. So, basically what's the point of pretending, faking or even manipulating and controlling if we can express our sentiments in our own way? Well, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try or use whole new and different alternatives. In our world right now, there are thousands of ways on how we can show or express what we feel inside - through writing, singing, dancing...and 'puppeting'. Yep, we call it The Puppet Way...
Yesterday, August 26, was an ordinary and normal day - following the usual routine in other words.. Nothing special, just a day in the life of a typical 3rd year high school student like me..until I witnessed the extraordinary and eccentric puppet show of the Tali Galaw group which was truly one of a kind. Tali Galaw, established in 1995, is the first and only Filipino marionette group conducting regular performances to promote and professionalize the art of marionette puppetry in the country. Everyone, I believe, was in awe the same way as I was because it was a creative and highly entertaining show. Plus, it's also worth noting that its plays promote Philippine history, culture, folktale, good moral values and environmental awareness. See? Creativity of a human being to showcase his own talent in a unique way mixed with manipulating and controlling isn't so bad after all - just as long as we use it in the right way.
