On 12th of
this month, Thursday, at 10.00 AM, I saw the Tiatro “Sandlelim Fulam” written
and directed by Lawry Travasso, at Kala Academy Hall, Panjim, attended by the
capacity crowd. This was the unique record created by Lawry Travasso in the
recent history by staging this Tiatro on odd day of the week. This indicates the good image the director
has created of his talent into the minds of the Tiatro goers. It also indicates the courage of the director
in holding this Tiatro on the odd day of the week.
Lawry Travasso singing his solo
Like Portuguez poet
Camoes, Lawry introduced innumerable proverbs and for that matter all beautiful
proverbs in this Tiatro, also like the late Prem Kumar used to do to beautify his
Tiatros.

The story pays great tributes to the priests for their enormous sacrificial work in the
service of GOD and humanity. The small role of
an old aged neglected priest played so appropriately by Lawry Travasso himself is
worth admiring. The major and main role
of a priest played by Tari deserved highest compliments even though he is a
Hindu by religion. His way of walking,
talking, Cassock wearing were
superb. By playing this role so perfectly
well he won the hearts of the entire audience.

Willy in his character
role of the PA of MLA once again proved that he is capable of playing any given
role with utmost perfection while Mario Menezes dazzled the audience by playing
the role of corrupt MLA.
A scene: All 3 comedians seen
Lovely Antonette de
Maina the main attraction of the Konkani Stage currently, played her roles as a young girl first and
later on as a Nun very well. As a young
girl she charmed the audience with her
charming dress code. While seasoned Rosy Alvares played her role as an aged
mother very well bringing tears not only in her eyes but even in the eyes of the
audience. The sorrowful Canto she
rendered was just a class by itself not only in the appropriate words but in the
attractive serene delivery as well.
A quarter seen singing
The comedy part was handled
well by the three ace comedians, namely John D’Silva, Bryan and Richard. The last named with his flexible body moves
and acrobatic actions stole more show.
His comedy is very impressive and he wins the hearts of the audience.
Ant. de Maina & Mario
In the side show songs many of the songs were
based on religion and the persecution Christians are facing currently under the
BJP rule. Peter de Arambol’s both the
solos were very well rendered with perfect clarity while both the solos of
Lawry Travasso were well accepted by the audience. The quarter of Francis de Tuem-Xavier
Gomes-Marcus Vaz-Lawry Travasso was hugely applauded by the audience while Rosy
Alvares rendered her solo beautifully.
The duet of Tony de Ribandar and Antontte de Maina brought an extra
flavour to the side show songs. Marcus Vaz, Xavier Gomes and Francis de Tuem
rendered their solos well while the comedy duo of Bryan and Richard was fabulously
applauded by the audience.

As a whole this Tiatro is worth seeing and worth
admiring
