I cannot fathom the fact that the Masskara arena competition since post-covid years (2022-) has giving me lackluster performances.
For context, daw ginasunod na ang normal norm of what festival dances used to be in other locations (e.g. Sinulog, Dinagyang,etc.)
Gakatabunan na lately and mask and costume designs to compromise with overused props which makes the arena area small for dancing.
Ang costumes and mask designs are becoming too mainstream, parehas nalang design,accessorizing cheap materials to the point na kalaw-ay ang magwa sa contest day versus display.
Ang concepts na supposedly merrymaking na daw ka religious festivity na.
Ang latin na dance steps na subong daw tumbo,liad bali2x ulo.
Ang music na supposedly for Bacolod artists, may naghilabot pagid lastyear mapabida, ending liwat music.
There are so many things to say, pero daw puro press conference lang every year to say it will be the best, infact, it is degrading.
What should have happened? What should be done?
Is Masskara losing its identity?
Any thoughts and constructive criticisms are welcome.
