There was a crooked man
Ballet Manila (see yesterday's post), aside from principal ballerina Lisa Macuja-Elizalde, may not be as technically proficient as Ballet Philippines but it has done more to make ballet accessible to the masses. They choose pieces with strong story lines, tickets cost a fraction of Ballet Philippines', and when you do buy a ticket, you also get a free all-day pass to Star City, the indoor-outdoor amusement park right beside the Aliw Theater. I confess though that I've never been inside. The most I've done is walk down that sidewalk and if it weren't for Arabesque, I would never have noticed just how funky their doorways are.

Very funky! And colourful too!
That is so amazingly cool on a gigantic scale! What an imaginative designer. I wouldn't be enticed to go in, either, but fun to see.
Hope you are having fun getting ready for Christmas, Hilda. I just finished my last term of my college program and will be able to jump back in to visiting all my CDPB buddies blogs a lot more regularly in the new year. I've missed keeping up with you, but have been peeking when I could, just not able to spend time commenting and really enjoying our community. Can't wait to remedy that.

Très étonnant ! Mais pourquoi pas ?

Those doors are a riot...funny and funky and full of color. How can you not go in?
Looks very modern and full of creative ideas.
This is a very neat building. It almost seems to invite a person to enter -- or at least smile as they walk past.
If I were a youngster I would find this place irresistible. You've captured it beautifully.
thanks for coming over!

Beautiful shot. There isn't a better choice than these for the doors to an amusement park. I already feel amused and I didn't even see the inside :)

Hilda: This is one of the most visually stimulating series of photos I've seen on a blog in a while. And your text is so informative! Thank you for sharing. You have put Manila on the list of cities I must see now. Oh, and I'll visit when Ballet Manila is performing!!!
