Yesterday 13th
of this month at Mapusa, I saw the new Tiatro written and directed by Rafael de
Majorda, the Tiatro was well attended by a good number of attendees. The musical
score for this Tiatro was nicely provided by Vitorin -Roy – Paklo - Telvin and
co. Though it was given to understand
that this Tiatro will start at 6.30 pm but it finally started at 7.00 PM
though the attendees were not restless,
they saw this Tiatro very peacefully. Normally in this hall Tiatros are held
only on Sundays but this is the rare occasion it was staged on Wednesday
proving everyone how confident the director was of filling the hall.

Rafael Fernandes who is
known as Rafael de Majorda is a fanatic Tiatrist and Tiatro lover as well as
Tiatro promoter. I know him in Kuwait a
number of years where he was working and during his spare time he used to
involve himself in staging TiATROS and introducing best of Tiatrists from Goa including
Lorna. In Kuwait he showed at least 3
Tiatros one of them was ALIZA. All his
Tiatros in Kuwait were “Housefull’ and thru staging of Tiatros he made a name
and fame for himself though every Tiatro of his was for charity. Before coming to Kuwait for employment, he also
worked in UAE at Al–Ain where too he made a mark for him as a prominent
Tiatrist by staging his Tiatros there. After working in Kuwait for about a decade,
he joined the Cruise Ship where he is still successfully working and during his
vacation time he stages his Tiatros as he is doing now during his current vacation.

The Tiatro Alicia was based on the betrayal of a
girlfriend by her boyfriend when she was already conceived thru him. It was very pathetic to see the illegitimate
child developing during his younger period. So the misery of the mother of the
child. The Tiatro was well performed by all the artistes, males as well as females
though it was the first show. In this
Tiatros, as usual he introduced some of the new faces, namely Sapna Sarag,
Damodar Kerkar, Liby, Master Ethan and Valanka. Andrew as usual gave his best performance in
playing the role of a villain, his dress code and language nicely matched with
his role.

Comedy scenes were
rather lengthy though both the comedians namely Ashton and Bladewin did their
best. The role of a younger boy Master
Ethan was excellent so too of his mother
Sapna who being a Hindu woman excelled excellently in this Tiatro. Bernard as a
boyfriend of Sapna played his part wonderfully. Liby too did her role of a “Bhattkarn”.
Matha and Milagres as wife and husband and Angela as doctor played their roles well.

praises on the Tiatro and Tiatrists for doing excellent job in the service of
uniting Goans, as he said Tiatro is a very good venue for our unity. A flower
bouqet was presented to him.
