The production is a free adaptation of the classic metric-romance by Francisco Balagtas. While preserving and utilizing Balagtas's own words in some parts, the shadowplay makes the classic work more accessible by injecting, in other parts, modern language, visuals, humour and contemporary music.

The shadow play or leather silhouette play is a type of drama, which has its roots in China.

Shadow puppets are made of leather instead of wood for the simple reason that leather is much lighter, easier to manipulate and carry around. The trunk, head and limbs of a puppet are separately carved but joined together by thread to be manipulated. The leather puppets are painted with various colors to show their different qualities, kind or wicked, beautiful or ugly.
