“MHAKA TUJI
GOROZ NAAM” Tiatro written and
directed by Jenny de Germany was staged on 18th of this month at
Kala Academy A/C Hall, Panjim, starting at 10.30 AM. It was thinly attended by the audience. Musical score was nicely provided by Anthony
de Velim and his troupe.

The story was very
meaningful related to the very many current happenings in our community where
unfaithful husbands leaving their wedded wives and go after their concubines
thereby destroying their own married
life as well as that of theirs concubines.
This is what exactly shown in this Tiatro by Jenny de Germany. It is a double sin
and a double curse where the God’s punishment is the most severe though it may not be immediately but surely ultimately.
The other aspect shown
in this Tiatro was the mistake many Gulf employed Goans make by surrendering
their wealth into the hands of their wives who finally desert their husbands
and leave them on the streets.

The play was enacted by
all the competent artistes males and females though they all were not well
known professionals nor heavyweights, most of them were new faces and being so
they deserve highest compliments for performing their roles so well. Jenny’s selection of these artistes was
excellent and all of them will be a good asset to the Konkani Stage.
As per the available
information, a year back Jenny de Germany booked
the well-known artistes for this Tiatro but to her surprise at the eleventh
hour they refused to honour their promise and as a challenge she got a new
group which proved to be a talented and
successful. Inspite of being a woman, Jenny de Germany spared no stone unturned
to make this Tiatro a success. Currently
it is being staged all over Goa and of course to the delight of the
audience. This Tiiatro gives a very good
lesson to those unfaithful husbands who by leaving their real wives are keeping
concubines and yet shamelessly moving in society.

Since this Tiatro conveys a very good moral lesson, the Church
in Goa must make a point to stage it all over Goa thru the local Pe. Vigars because
what Church cannot preach Jenny de Germany preached thru this Tiatro. But will our Pe.
Vigars come forward for this? I doubt
very much because many of our Pe. Vigars themselves are guilty of the sin
called Concubinage as they are having Concubines not only in ones and in twos
but in dozens because easy money flowing in their hands without any hard work.
In the comedy roles,
Jenny de Germany excelled very well and she was ably supported by Ortencio and
Jalu while in the main Play Anjela, Bushan and Antonette played their roles
extremely well. Even though she resides in Germany yet Jenny de Germany showed lot of
maturity by acting like a seasoned artiste. She is as good as any of the
seasoned Goa based professional artistes. Like a captain in the Cricket team, she played her captain's inning very well.
Regarding the side show songs, in the absence of topmost singers this part of the Show did not rise to the expected level and because of this there was not much thrill in the hall.
