Photohunt: Wrinkled



If you've read Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time, then you might be familiar with her concept of "tessering" (however innacurate that was). Tessering involves the use of a tesseract, a 5th dimension of sorts, that enables one to fold the fabric of space and time and thus do time travel through such "wrinkles in time".

I saw the play "Noli at El Fili Dekada 2000 (Dos Mil)", a contemporary adaptation of Jose Rizal's "Noli Me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo" last thursday. I'd like to think this very play passed through such wrinkles in time to remind us Filipinos not to be complacent and to remain vigilant for we are facing many of the same things that Jose Rizal and our country's forefathers gave their lives up for today.


Poster for the play. Depicts the 2 faces the main character, from the idealistic reformist Ibarra to the I-want-change-now rebel Simoun.


I like this photo I took of the cast page in the souvenir program. Surely this one "tessered" to the present.

A fitting reminder as we celebrate National Heroes Day next week don't you think? If you want to see the play and haven't yet done so, you have until tomorrow to do so.

Looks interesting to me :)

p/s: Snipping the wrinkled and wilted leaves will help the plant.

...taking shortcuts through time and space, creating a 'wrinkle in time'- I'd like to be able to do that!

Tessering is an intriguing concept, and yours is a smart take on this week's theme! :-)

Great take on the theme. I love Madeleine L'Engles books. I read them as an adult and when I had a daughter got them for her as a child. I also think the adaptation of Jose Rizal's play sounds like a good one for National Heroe's week as a reminder, although I am not familiar with it. Happy weekend.

Now that's what I call thinking outside the box! Very clever indeed. I love the poster.

Very interesting. I like art. I haven't read the book but I did see the movie (which I didn't like). But the concept of wrinkles in time is interesting.

My Photo Hunt is up, too! Come see, if you can, and leave your link. :)

@Napaboaniya: Thanks, both for coming by and for answering my question :)

@dmeemai: Well, I love the term tessering, but I think the more accurate term is using a wormhole, but yeah, I agree--intriguing concept indeed :)

Nice take Philos. Hope we could make more Filipino heroes, acknowledged or unsung.

Thanks for your comments on my travel. I'm now thinking of listing all the places in the country that I've visited.

A fantastic choice! I haven't read the book, but it's certainly been on my list :)

@TiOheM: You should, not only does it highlight the beauty of our country, it could also serve as a chronicle of your experiences too! :)

@Momisodes: Haha... with babisodes growing up so fast, you might read it together in a year or 2. Thanks for coming by! :)
