Sintang Dalisay

Areté and Tanghalang Ateneo proudly present Sintang Dalisay, one of Dr. Ricardo Abad’s best Shakespearean adaptations.

Set in an imagined Muslim community in Southern Philippines, Sintang Dalisay is an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet — now named Rashiddin and Jamila, a pair of star-crossed lovers caught in a generations-long feud between their families, the Mustaphas and Kalimuddins. The two lovers must navigate their secret love through the rough seas of hate and violence.

This tale is told through the emotive, evocative, and sensual undulations of the Igal, a traditional dance of the Sama-Bajau people, and the enchanting neo-ethnic and gamelan music, weaving Shakespeare’s tragedy of fate with the Filipino sense of festive love and enduring hope.

To reopen on February 14, 2025, Sintang Dalisay has previously won Best Production and Best Director in the 2012 Aliw Awards and toured the Philippines and abroad, notably in three international engagements at Belarus, Vietnam, and Taiwan.

Don't miss your chance to witness this captivating adaptation of a timeless story.
