Every color is
important. Every hue plays a role in turning the bland to beautiful. That’s the
exact message of Artist Playground’s Ang Kinang ni Kahlim. Topbilled by
Paul Jake Paule as Kahlim, the play tackles the journey of colors in making the
world even more beautiful. White, yellow, red and blue were all tasked to color
the world, but Kahlim, who represents black, was left with nothing to do
because the other colors feel he’s not good enough in almost everything. The
message of the play resonated not only to the kids but to adults as well.
While the play centers
on colors and caters to mostly kids (as this is a children’s play), it brings
us a warm message that every color is vital and has an importance in this
world. Directed by Roeder Camañag, Artist
Playground’s Ang Kinang ni Kahlim was shown at the Globe Auditorium of the
Maybank Performing Arts Theater last January 15, 2017 as part of the BGC Arts
Festival.
