Seen Director Domnick singing his solo.
Yesterday, in Panjim,
at Kala Academy Hall, at 7.45 PM I saw a nice Tiatro “MAIM PAI TIM MAIM PAI”
scripted an directed by Kuwait based Domnick Fernandes. Working in Kuwait for the last so many years,
Domnick is very active in Kuwait among Goans especially in the Church
activities. He is also involved in the
cause of promotion of Konkani. During
his vacation in Goa now since mid Decembeber, he has done 25 Shows of this Tiatro which is a very good record to
establish by any expatriate Goan Tiatrist. A “ghaum – bhau” of the late M.
Boyer from Raia Salcette, Domnick’s forte lies in scripting good Tiatros and
compose and render songs which are also recorded in his own CD’s/DVD’s.

Seen singing a song
In this Tiatro he
depicts the real picture of the fate of many of our Goans working there in
Kuwait and finally what is their end in Goa inspite of doing so much for their
children. Do our children realize
this? The major part of this Tiatro was
shouldered by Mario de Vasco and Ivon as husband and wife working in
Kuwait. Mario with perfect clarity and
high pitch voice, does justice to his role while attractive Ivon with her
majestic personality and romantic voice
gives an extra booster to this
play. Both she and Mario played a real
sorrowful scene in the ending part of the play.
Her last Canto was very touching and she rendered it very sorrowfully
too.
Seen singing a solo
Also seen singing a solo
The others who deserve
especial mention for doing his role well was seasoned and veteran artiste
Anthony San as a “Bom Samaratan”, always ready to assist the distressed.
Seen singing a trio
The comedy part was
beautifully handled by all the new comedians, at least to my eyes they are new
faces but they did their roles as seasoned.
They all have a very good good scope for them on Konkani Stage.
Seen singing a duet
Another scene
In the Side Show Songs, every singer deserves
compliments because every song is meaningful and carried some message though
they all were rendered not by the top professionals. If this part was entrusted with some top
names, the rating of this Tiatro would still go high because the story is very
good and it was enacted very well by all the artistes who surely deserve
highest compliments.
A romantic scene:Mario/Ivon
A scene where all the three comedians seen
Director Domnick’s one of the solos “Tiatrist”
was very beautiful in the sense he tells how Tiatro was misused by the later
generation Tiatrists after its origin. Anthony San’s both the solos were good,
so too of Marcus Vas and his duet. There
was not a single vulgarity in this Tiatro because of this, this Tiatro got more
booster. Neither there was any “Pozddo”
comedian to use Pozddi comedy.
