 Telon Painting

Philippine Literature during Spanish Times

A telon is described as a backdrop or
background for the stage. These backdrops are used
for komedya, sarswela, and sinakulo which are
popular forms of theater in the country. Later, even
though the popularity of the sarswela deceased, the
telon is still used in presentations during carnivals,
fiestas, and religious celebrations. The telon was later
reduced as a backdrop in a photography studio.
