SAKDAL, an original Filipino pop-rock musical on the life of Jesus Christ.
SAKDAL meaning perfect, is an interpretation of the life of Jesus Christ in parallel to our issues today and how his teachings being so needed to be heard now in time of political and economic crisis. Jesus as the center of Christianity is not only a symbol of faith and hope but also a proactive example of reform and movement.
Set in the last few days of Jesus Christ, Sakdal presents a more humane Jesus who is baffled about his mounting popularity among common people. And this popularity drew diverse reactions and concerns among his disciples especially in the part of Judas Iscariot who wants him to maintain a low profile. Through this depiction of Christ, we will highlight the obvious message of life, truly a rude awakening, a reflection on how we are living the life he sacrificed.
With a true to form realistic set, there is no trailblazing statement or justification for the style. It is not abstract; it is not impressionistic or stylized. What you see is what you get. The set plays its role in its true sense. A background for the actors, setting for the period and a visual foundation for the music. Nothing overwhelming. It is as Israel or as Is-real as it can get.
