PIAF is a dramedy
play about a legendary French singer Edith Gassion who despite her huge success
worldwide longed for true love and happiness.
Directed by Bobby Garcia based from the works of British playwright Pam
Gems, this stageplay was made possible by Atlantis Productions.
PIAF has set a new
standard in theater acting with Pinky Amador as the iconic
La Mome Piaf, she has
brought down the house from the opening till the curtains closed. Pinky Amador
hypnotizes and charms the audience with her voice flooded with so much
emotions. I felt her transformation on her character, from being naïve to
struggling start to the peak of her career and even to her remaining days emits
power that did not devalued. Her acting was outstanding and the song renditions
were so-so powerful that brought tears on my eyes especially on her solos
singing Non, je ne regretted rienne, Hymn a l’amour and of course, La Vie en
Rose.
I felt I am part of
the scene as I was watching her exuding so much love, deep pains and sorrows
even if there were no translation made still she was so elegant, graceful and
effective.The entire cast was complimenting with each other and it’s remarkable that one has multiple roles to play, changing costumes right there and then, table and chairs moving every now and then made the show quick and fast-pacing. It is noteworthy to include the musician who played couple of instrumental French songs that helped set the mood of the audience and the venue prior to the start of the show and I love her performance.
Director Bobby
Garcia had made the play smooth and easy to understand with the transition and
execution of every scene and Playwright Pam Gems highlighted another part of
Piaf’s life, a lifetime friendship with Toine played by Emma Castro. Somehow
the shining glory of Piaf were not only focused on alcohol, drugs, men &
more men.
If there’s one word
to describe PIAF and Pinky Amador, I would definitely say, “STELLAR”. PIAF is
Pinky Amador and Pinky Amador is Piaf.
