Heroes come alive in ‘Monumento 1896’

HEROES, whether fictional, mythical, or historical, have a hold and magic, elicit awe and wonder, stir emotions, and fuel and ignite hope and inspiration.

Cinema, literature, and theater are the platforms that gave us Darna Avengers, Justice League, Guardians of the Galaxy, John Wick, Fernando Poe Jr., and many more. Modern-day heroes, such as overseas Filipino workers, teachers, medical practitioners, soldiers, and the many ordinary men and women with extraordinary feats, are staples as well in traditional and online news, and other forms of mass communication mediums.

A question arises: What if Filipino historical heroes came alive? One cannot help but wonder what their reaction would be to our joyful yet chaotic times.

Gat Jose Rizal, our foremost national hero, would he be appalled with the reign of greed that many consider as the culprit of the republic’s societal cancer? The Supremo, Andres Bonifacio would be revolted with the sorry state of existence of the economically disadvantaged sector?

How about Francisco Balagtas, would he lament the fact that his lyrical Filipino is now considered archaic and the youth, seem to have mastered languages from other countries? Lapu-Lapu, the great datu of Mactan, would he be baffled by a foreign culture and people? The powerful feminine Gabriela Silang, would she be shocked perhaps with fun, fearless females? And the caregiver of the Katipuneros, Melchora Aquino, would she wail over the fact that her tale of giving assistance to the courageous Katipuneros, has been reduced to a believe it or not storyteller?

The theater becomes a medium of education and entertainment with this Mercado-directed play. With the creative use of magic, the innocence of a young miss who got lost in a park, a fairy that serves as the storyteller of the past and present, and statues of national heroes coming alive as they talk about their
