TIATRO “DEVAK
XINONNAKA” BY MENINO DE BANDAR.
Seen above in a scene Menino de Bandar & Angela Moraes
Yesterday, 11th of this month at Kala Academy in Panjim, I
saw the above Tiatro written and directed by Menino de Bandar, starting at 7.35
PM. Though it was poorly attended yet
the Tiatro was good storywise but Sideshow songs needed more powerful songsters
so too the comedians. However, the
available comedians performed well inspite of being rather freshers. Good that they are given an opportunity to
perform on professional stage by the director at this young age so that they
get good experience. They are all new to me but I adimre them all including one
young female. I wish them all the best
on Konkani Stage.

Sing their political duet Valencio and his partner
It was a family story beautifully woven around 2 brothers, their
selfish wives and their Widow sister-in-law whose opinion both the wives are
having in wrong direction. They both doubt her integrity and affection towards
their both husbands. Then both of them join together and create a rift in the
family then blame here and there but it finally ends for what has happened with
the statement ‘DEVAK XINONNAKA”. Both Maxy
and Satya. Tari as brothers played their roles very well along with both the beautiful girls
as their wives.

One more scene where Menino de Bandar seen in the middle
Th story was full of proverbs and
high profile dialogues and statements of which type nowadays you rarely see on
Konkani Stage. Menino de Bandar is very
well versed in this field. While
thanking the audience for attending this Show he showed his disappointment for
having poor attendance. But Meninobab,
yesterday being election day plus raining everywhere, I feel you should not
feel hurt that much. It is part of the trade.

In the Side Show songs young
Valencio performed well in all his political songs, However, the anger he indicates while singing
and entering the Stage should be minimized. The other songs to be noted are on
Kaixao and Opening solo on Christian sects.

Many times it is said when
Sideshow songs are not powerful the level of Tiatro goes down even though the
story is very good. This is our system for Tiatros. Many times in the past
people used to come for Tiatro only to listen to one or two songs of M.Boyer.
This indicates the importance of Sideshow songs. People see the Tiatro in
greater number when participating stars are very good and also very good
singers.
