On Monday 23rd
of this month at 8.00 PM I saw the Tiatro “Tuzoi Dis Ietolo” written and
directed by Roseferns, this Tiatro was staged in Candolim at St. Therese’s High
School compound in aid of the new Cemetery under construction adjacent to the
existing old one. It is some time now that the Candolim Church authorities are
collecting funds for this Cemetery but never had I heard from their mouth how
much total amount is required and how much so far has been collected and how
much more is required. This information
would be better for the parishioners to know the exact position of the collection.
Francis de Tuem
The Tiatro was attended
by the capacity attendees mainly, first because of the Cemetery issue, secondly
because of the name and fame of the writer/director and thirdly because of the political
songster Francis de Tuem. I too saw this Tiatro because of the political song
Francis de Tuem sings in this Tiatro and it was this song in Margso a few days
back that made Mickey Pacheco’s supporters against all civilized decency to create problem for this Tiatro. It was in the beginning given to understand
that this song is a piercing Zupatti on personal life of Micky Pacheco but after
listening this song now I realized that
there is nothing personal in this song against Mickey Pacheco, it is all
related to his political public life.
Comedians Richard and Neto
One thing we must bear
in mind that if any person is shy of getting his public life and dirty private
life exposed because of his misdeed then he should not involve in
public life. When a person enters into
the public life then his actions private and public go into the hands of public
to debate and this is what Francis de Tuem did in his song of course without
touching Pacheco’s private life. And for
that matter he was right because for the betterment of society public from any
platform must scrutinize the working of the public figures. Otherwise, the public figures will destroy
the peace of the society and Mickey Pacheco is not less. Public figures should be the role model for
others to follow. What role model public figures will be if they are bad?
Antonette de Maina and Cleto
Mickey Pacheco committed
the greatest crime by Slapping the government servant. He cannot raise his hand on anybody, he is not a last Century Bhattkar of Goa to treat
the Mundkar in this cruel and inhuman manner.
Just because he was a Minister he got no right to touch even the hair of
a citizen. Our present day politicians and ministers once they are in power
they start acting like Emperor Neros as if they are omnipotent in this
world. Who act in this crude
manner? Only the third class coming from
third class family background without having basic discipline at home. Since majority of our politicians are coming
from Hoi-Polloi background, they tend to act like artificial Kings and Sheikhs
taking laws into their hands. It is not
Francis de Tuem only but all other Tiatrists and Padris should raise their
voices against the short term artificial dadagiri of our politicians.
Rose Ferns
Mickey Pacheco declared
that he will field all the candidates in all the constituencies on behalf of
his party but I tell Mickey Pacheco before entering in our constituency asking for
votes for his party candidate he must openly apologize for slapping the public
servant. Yesterday it was for him and
today and tomorrow he will Slap anyone.
Citizens of Goa are not his slaves nor servants.
A few years back Mickey
Pacheco came to Kuwait as Chief Guest for one Tiatro where he presented a gift
to Francis de Tuem by expressing eulogy of Francis de Tuem but now the
situation is changed because of the time factor. If we want to purify the dirty
character of our corrupt politicians, not only Francis de Tuem but everyone of
us must raise our voice openly against these corrupt and dirty politicians who
are looting the public and raping the females on the strength of their
political power. At least Francis de Tuem used Stage to fight the corrupt Goan
politicians but Kid Boxer is on record to fight the corrupt Indian government
though he had to suffer the consequences of his tirade against Indian
government. If one is not ready to face
the consequences then one must not fight.
Francis de Tuem as per
my information has done good research and homework with all the relevant documents from all the
relevant authorities while composing his song and if anyone feels he is wrong
then anybody can take Francis de Tuem to the task thru proper channel. He is not hiding from Goa or from public view,
he is not a coward. He stays at Mapusa
with his family behind Duler Football Stadium.
About the Tiatro “Tuzoi
Dis Ietolo”, the main story is good and Ullas Tari as usual played a very good
role opposite to equally very good Roma as husband and wife respectively. The comedy part played by acrobatic Neto and
Richard was good but its vulgar contents brought the level of this Tiatro low
and with this low, the otherwise dignified status of the director also came
low.
Though the Side Show
songs was good but it lacked the normal crescendo. Both the solos of Francis de Tuem were highly
applauded by the audience, so too the comedy duo of Neto and Richard. The solos of Tari, Rosario de Benaulim, Rose
Ferns and the trio of Roma-Antonette de
Maina-Cleto were good.
