Script writer Valency sings her solo
On Monday, 28th
of this month, almost at 8.30 PM instead of at 7.30 PM as officially announced,
I saw the first and the inaugural Show of the new Tiatro “TANNEM MHAKA OBHIXEK
KELA”. It was written by the young and
energetic girl, the Stage artiste Valency D’Souza from Calangute known all
around the globe for its beautiful Beach with silvery sand and directed by
Michael Jude Gracias who is the well – known writer/journalist, editor, actor,
playwright and a renowned Tiatrist. He
also is the composer of all the Side Show Songs including the “Cantos”. It was staged
in the Church Compound at Santa Cruz (Kalafura) and attended by a very good
number of attendees.

Seen on the Stage from left: Prince Jacob - Fr. Raymond Godinho - local Pe. Vigar Fr. Alexandre Pereira - writer of the drama Valency D'souza & Direcotr of the Tiatro Michael Jude Gracias.
This Tiatro is a
spiritual presentation based on the pastoral letter 2018-19 of Archbishop
Felipe Neri Ferrao. The special attendee for this Tiatro was the director of Diocesan
Catechetical Center – Old Goa, Fr. Raymond Godinho. Fr. Alexandre Pereira the local Pe. Vigar also
attended this Show. Since the story is based on Biblical teachings and we are
almost in the Lent season, people must not miss the opportunity to see this
spiritual enactment where some of the biblical quotations are beautifully
enacted.

The story revolves
around one Call Girl whose indulgence in this trade is so deep because of the lust
for money showered on her by her Pimp Boss whose role excellently performed by
Jose while that of the Call Girl by the script writer Venesly D’Souza.
Finally due to the efforts of one
Cathechist whose role beautifully played by Michael Jude Gracias and one priest
whose role was most appropriately and of course wonderfully played by Prince
Jabob, she surrenders to the command of
God.

Seen singing a duo by Lucian and Jose
The others who played
their roles well were Jacinto as drunkard, veteran and seasoned artiste Diana, Meena
and Fr. Eusico as Jesus Christ. Others too played their roles well to make this
Tiatro a great success, thanks to the efforts of director not to leave a stone
unturned to achieve this success.
Seen singing a duet by Meena & Francis Rebello
Seen above scene is Fr. Eusico doing the role of Jesus Christ.
Beautiful lady Lourdes sings a beautiful song, a solo
The comedy role was played well by young new comer Raymond
whose comedy role was admirable, He was
at times well assisted by Diana, Meena and Jacinto. On the horizon of comedy, one more comedian
is born in Raymond who dished out decent comedy without any vulgarity.
Jude Gracias & Fr. Eusico sings a duo.
The Side Show consists
maninly on songs related to morality and spiritualism without any “Zupatti” nor
politics. Those who excelled in this segement were Lourdes, Valency, Jude, Fr.
Eusico, Luciano, Francis Rebello, Meena and others.

Musical score was well
