TIATRO
“REVOLUTION” By Irineu Gonsalves.
Above Irineu thanks the audience
Yesterday, 19.06.16, at Ravindra Bhuwan, Vasco,
at 7.45 PM, I saw the new Tiatro “REVOLUTION” written and directed by the
renowned Tiatro personality Irineu Gonsalves.
It was well attended by the near capacity crowd. This is the first time in the history of
Tiatro, according to my knowledge that such a rich, educative and informative Political
Tiatro was staged on Konkani Stage.
Olga singing her solo
It contains not only politics but also
Political Science. Like a University
Professor, script writer Irineu Gonsalves teaches Political Science in this
Tiatro and the entire audience with rapt attention watched every act and every
word released from the mouth of every artiste.
A scene: Sylvester-Jessica-Tari
The role played by Tari as an activist deserved
highest compliments, so also by attractive Jessica, Sylvester and handsome
youngster Johnathan. Irene too played
her role well. They all rally behind Tari as youngsters to bring about the
Revolution because Revolutions are the work of youngsters.
Another scene: Sheikh Ameer & Com. Humbert
The script is made rich
by the quotes of politically intellectual
statements of some of the world renowned Revolutions, like Marie
Antoinette telling her own people “To Eat Cake if there is no bread”.
Benny de Aldona sings his solo
The statement
inculcating the sense of Revolution into the minds and hearts of the next
generation to avenge the killing of Fr. Bismark indicates the philosophy of the
ancient Greek Philosoher, Socrates. The
director is to be applauded for making use of his high literary and educational
background.
Yet another scene: Anil - Sylvester-Sundeep
The story is very
relevant especially now since the election is coming soon. It tells the opposition to unite in the form
of “alignment” of likeminded parties on the Bihar pattern. It
tells of something new method like holding of “Primary” type of selection or
election of the candidates of the choice of constituents and then make them
contest the general election. In this
way, we can prevent splitting of the votes.
Saby de Divar singing his solo
All the dirty and
corrupt ideas implemented by our political figures and ministers are nicely
indicated in this Tiatro. The role of
the corrupt Minister was beautifully enacted by Anil Pednecar whose
presentation, dress code, delivery of
the statements and words were worth admiring. Though as his “Chamcha” the role played by
Sundeep Calangutecar was excellent yet some of his actions were found overdone.
Sylvester singing his solo
The comedy part was
nicely handled by both the ace comedians Humbert and Domnick.
Olga and Anil singing their duet
Special mention here
must be made of the magnificent role of the CM played most appropriately by
Sheikh Ameer imitating exactly the CM in walk, talk and action.
Jonathan singing his solo
The Side
Show songs were good qualitatively with number of encores and especial mention
must be made of the political solos of Olga, her duet with Anil, again solo of
Saby de Divar and his Trio with Benny de Aldona and Sylvester.
Sylvester-Benny-Saby singing their trio.
However, the best song
in the Tiatro was rendered with his beautiful voice by Benny de Aldona on the
importance of “Goenchi Mati”, meaning to work in Goa.
Jessica and Anthony San sing their duet
Since the next election
is approaching fast, I feel no Goan should miss this Tiatro because it is worth
watching.
While concluding, let
me congratulate script writer and director, Irineu Gonsalves, so also his entire troupe including
Musicians.
