Mir-i-nisa
Restaged by Ronilo Jaynario after Julie Borromeo & Felicitas Radaic. Music by Dr. Eliseo Pajaro and
Story from Jose Garcia Villa, National Artist for Literature.
Mir-i-nisa is a tale of a Muslim Princess ready for bethrotal according to Muslim custom. There are two contenders for her hand: Tashi, noble and strong and Achmed, just as virile but aggressive and boastful besides frivolous as one would expect a girl as young and lovely as she is. Achmed impressed Mir-i-nisa. However, the Datu chooses his future son-in-law. The Datu declares that whoever retrieves the black pear he throws into the sea, wins his daughter.
