Theatrical Speech Choir Script: Intro

The document is a script for a theatrical speech choir performance depicting the seven ages of man. It begins by establishing the performance space and introduces the concept of life's stages as a performance on the world's stage. The performance then acts out each of the seven ages - infant, schoolboy, lover, soldier, justice, old man, and dead man - through choreography, music, and dialogue between characters. However, it ends by suggesting the characters are trapped reliving the same cycles over and over again against their will.

With spectacles on nose, and pouch on side

• Everyone: clowns grandpa, inaasar nila kasi kuba and matanda na, magtatawanan

A world too wide for his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice
Turning again towards childish trebles, pipes, and whistles in his sound

I remember tears streaming down your face when I said I'll never let you go

You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now

Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound

Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything
