Last December 11, the latest project of Marulaya was the Playfest 2012, where the members of the organization showcased their talents by presenting three different plays. We were divided into three groups, each group will present a play. Our group produced the play Mensahe.
The story revolves around a family, each member having their own dark secrets revealed at the end. Leslie, the main character, is being abused by her family. Her mother, Ester, selling her daughter's body for money. Her father, Luis, physically abusing her through rape. She tries to get help from her older sister, Apple. But Apple refuses to help her because of anger and jealousy. The story also shows incest because of Leslie's brother, Marco, being her love interest. In the final scene, each character admits their faults to each other, and in the end, it is also revealed that Apple was abused the same way as Leslie.
It was fun, from practicing the play to actually presenting it to the other students. The entire experience gave me the chance to step out of my inner self and be Ester. This event increased my confidence and my acting skills as well. A lot of the org's alumni commended my acting which was really flattering since this is my first time to actually act in front of a crowd. And now I'm willing to be more active and participate in Marulaya's upcoming events.
Our play didn't get the Best Play award. The other two plays was Pink, a story about Prince, a boy who is confused about his gender. he admits to be gay but his father refuses. In the end his father suffers from a sickness which made him admit what he really wanted to tell his son. The other play was Le Amigas which is about Eunice, a woman with a multipersonal disorder, and the play revolves around her two other personalities, Irene and Mina.
Til the next Playfest!! Up next: LiveAct X :)
