Seen Menino de Bandar singing his solo
Today morning at 10.40,
I saw the Tiatro “MAIM”, written and
directed by Menino de Bandar, at Mapsa which was attended by a thin crowd who
no doubt was small in number but went home with a big satisfaction for having
seen one of the best Tiatros of the season.
One scene where Angela as a mother seen in the Centre
Story wise, this Tiatro
was excellent as it speaks of very relevant issue very common in our Christian
society where the old parents are dumped into the Azilos thus making their life
very lonely. The role played by Angela of the Mother who is finally sent to the Azilo is to be
highly applauded while the roles played by both the daughters-in-law were
excellent. So too the roles played by
Franfie and Tari as sons. The concluding
scene was very interesting where the sons speak very bad of those sons who send
their parents to the Azilos.
Franky with his partner singing a duet
The value of the play
increased much because of the excellent “Cantos” which were enjoyed by the
audience. Normally these days we don’t see
such Cantos in our current Tiatros.
One more scene where both daughters-in-law seen
The comedy part failed
to come to the expected level as it did not generate much interest.
Singing a song on Portuguez era law & order
In the Side Show songs, I was pleased to listen
to some of the very interesting songs namely, Menino de Bandar’s solo on Dr.
Jack Sequeira, Franky’s duet with his partner, both the solos on Pe. Jose Vaz,
a Quartel by Menino de Bandar along with his colleagues and a solo on the law
and order during Portuguese time.
