Chitra seen singing her solo on Maestro Juzinho
Yesterday in Panjim at
Kala Academy Hall, at 3.40 PM, I saw the new Tiatro ‘MAFI MAGTAM” written and
directed by Comedian Domnick. Though the
hall was not fully filled yet it was a good attendance that enjoyed this Tiatro
from the beginning till end. I can
rightly say it is one of the best Tiatros of this season and every artiste
performed his and her role appropriately well and the credit for this surely
goes to the director. However, I can’t
resist the temptation of highlighting the superb roles played by the two
artistes to attain total success for this Tiatro and they are Eliterio D’Costa playing the role of the
husband and father of the young girl and Chitra playing the role of the grand
mother. This is the first time I see her
performing such a role and she did it extremely well displaying all the
attributes and qualities ingrained in the typical Goan Grandmother.
Sonali Naik sings her solo
The story is woven
around one young girl – Sonali Naik – who craves for her real mother and who
leaving her young daughter, gets married second time after obtaining Divorce. Since the Tiatro is going on all over Goa, I
refrain from disclosing the full details of the story and suggest to watch this
Tiatro.

The comedy part was
nicely handled by both the Comedian brothers Director Domnick and Luis Bachan with an added association of young comedian
girl Cassey Travasso who indicates lot
of confidence in her acting.

Among the Side Show
songs, especial mention must be made to the excellent solo rendered by Chitra
in praise of Maestro Juzinho who is bed ridden now and who was an ace musician
performing for so many Tiatros. It was a
fitting tribute to his excellent work he did in musical field. So also Saby
Divar, Lesly and Ellias performed well in their songs. The duets rendered by Chitra & Allias and
Precilla & Xavier de Maina were worth admiring.
