4.) Ang tatay mong kalbo



                     Most of the stories start with a initial situation, conflict, complication, climax, suspense, final outcome and conclusion and sometimes if the writers wants to add more interesting scenes, they will shake up the recipe and add some spice. But Ang tatay mong kalbo is very different to others, it doesn't comply. There's just no basic through-line to analyze here. There's no conflict that builds to a climax and then is resolved. There's no protagonist who wants anything. The characters mostly just chill out, saying things that may or may not mean anything, and then end their conversation with yelling things at each other that don't make any sense. Ang tatay mong kalbo still the best and a great example of  a play even if it's breaking the rules still manages to entertain.

            At first, I feel very confuse. I don’t know what’s going on and what’s happening. There’s so many questions popping on my head like why are they like that?, what are they doing? and why are they talking nonsense things?. After a numerous of solving on how to resolve my problems  to this play, I realize that it is a absurd play. Their endless, meaningless conversations and repetitive words represent the absurdist view of human existence. The Santos and Reyes could be said to represent every human being on Earth.

            About the title Ang tatay mong kalbo, many of us got confused not only me but most of the students are. But someone told me that do not force myself too much trying to figure out the title, he said that the play is purposefully of all kinds of nonsensical things.

            Lastly I would like to say that the play wouldn’t be like that if the actors and actresses are not good and also the people who make the stage lovely. I would like to give them a round of applause to them. I really see their hard work on props to acting.
