Secular Komedya
Usually performed in town celebrations. An
example of this is the Moro-moro that is
popularized in 1600. It uses stories that revolve
around kings, queens, princesses, prince,
animals, and supernatural beings. Most of the
time it portrays the clash between Christians
and Muslims.
Religious Komedya
Mostly performed to enhance religious festivities.
It focuses on the life of religious icons (Jesus
Christ, St. Michael etc.) Examples are Siete
Palabras, Senakulo, etc.
Sarswela
The Sarswela is a type of melodrama, usually in
three acts, that uses alternately spoken and
sung words. It was the Spanish influence that
started the sarswela, but it was also this
colonization that led Filipinos to incorporate
nationalistic overtones in the art. Walang Sugat is
one of the most famous sarswela in the country.
Bodabil
Another stage show that became popular during
the Japanese period based on the French
vaudeville. These were called stage show during
Japanese occupation and later a variety show.
This form of theater was an American import in
the pre-war era but became uniquely Filipino with
the indigenization of the name. Like its American
counterpart, bodabil featured a variety of
musical numbers, comedic and dramatic skits,
and song and dance numbers.
