TIATRO "MOGACHIM FULAM" BY LAWRY TRAVASSO.

Lawry Travasso sings his solo

Yesterday, Saturday, 18^th of this month, I saw the Tiatro “MOGACHIM FULAM” written and directed by the well-known Tiatrist Lawry Travasso, at Kala Academy, Panjim, morning at 10.20.  

Seen all the comedians

Even though this was the third Show in the same hall yet it was still well attended by the audience, of  course some Chairs were empty.  The fourth and probably the last Show in Panjim is scheduled at the end of this month. 

Peter de Arambol solo on Lemos

Let me be very frank and say that this is a well scripted, well directed, well acted by all the artistes – males and females – and well performed. The musical  score was well provided by the well-known music director Norman Cardoso and his troupe.

One scene

The language and style used in this Tiatro is rich and full of Sayings.  It reminded me of the scripts  of J.P. Souzalin who used to similarly enrich his Tiatros by using such rich Sayings.

John de Silva & Jannet - a comedy scene

The story is surrounded on family life in which  wife  of one young couple does not get a child even after few years of marriage and because of this she is harassed and maltreated by her husband who even tortured her making her life very miserable.  Everyone calls her “Vanxttem” that saddens her very much and then the story reaches to its climax whbich must be seen by attending the Show to enjoy maximum.

Francis de Tuem 

The roles played both by Franky and Antonette de Maina as husband and wife were superb, Antonette especially during torturing scene was the best. Her one sorrowful Canto was beautiful however next time for such songs more sweetness and serenity is required to sound it Silky. Secondly she must pay more attention to the dresses she wears especially the rich Sarees at home.  The others who played their roles well were Tari as Priest, Mario Menezes and Rosy Alvares as husband and wife and Philip Almeida as younger brother and later on in priestly robe.

Horrible scene of torturing

Comedy part though lacked the required punch yet it was well performed by all the comedians including comedian Jannet.

A scene - Mario & Rosy

The Side Show songs were well rendered by all the singers but especial mention must be made to the beautiful solo by Peter de Arambol on late  S. Lemos, Lawry Travasso on “Dusro”, Duet by Tony de Ribandar with Antonette de Maina, Marcus Vaz solo on Vices and of course by Francis de Tuem on political topic where he tears Parricar into peces.

While concluding let me say congratulations to Lawry Travasso and his troupe.
