The Dressing Room is another play conducted by Dulaang UP and its prominent
who plays the role of Nina in a foreign play, who is a frustrated theater artists and the
midnight adventures of two phantoms of dead female artists (whose roles were played
The opening number of the play immediately caught my attention because the
actors and dancers showcased a Japanese traditional dance which name that I did not
really know. All I can remember is that it was a strong and powerful yet mysterious and
chilling dance. I felt a bit scared during their performance probably because the
ambience of the stage was dark and the faces of the actors and dancers were all white
and pale. Their body movements were big and quick as if they were ninjas or Japanese
warriors fighting each other. The dances also had a tinge of contemporary jazz or ballet
especially during the middle of the play. Most of the movements of the ghosts were
demure since they were portrayed as geishas. The actors wore white kimono and thick
makeup and this features really added to the realness of the play.
All in all, I enjoyed watching the play because the storyline was interesting and
the message that it conveyed made an impact on how I perceive artists. Their strong and
well executed performances made me pay attention to the play and appreciate it.
