Sponsored by the former
MLA Agnelo Fernandes from Calangute constituency and hailing
from the village Candolim and attended by the moderate number of attendees at
Candolim Ximer Hall, well known in the locality and elsewhere too, Greg de
Candolim successfully staged his new Tiatro on 15th of this month starting at
8.55 PM instead of at 8.30 PM as announced by the organisers. This Tiatro was staged to mark the feast of
Nossa Senhora de Remedios at the Chapel of Monteiros. While showering praises
on the Director for showing vast improving in this year’s Tiatro compared to
earlier ones and assuring his support for such ventures in the future, he
congratulated the director for staging a good Tiatro.

The participation of the artistes
in this Tiatro was the blend of some professional and some amateurs so too some
from the director’s locality while others from outside but all of them
performed their roles either in the play or in the songs well thus creating good
impression into the minds of the audience who remained seated on the chairs
till the last minute. Among the audience
there were some from Siolim, Parra, Saligao, Pilerne, Nerul and other places
and not from Candolim only. This
audience was wooed by the charismatic image of the director not only on the
Stage but also beyond it.
One of the Scenes - Seen are Joa Luis, Simao, Selite & Maria Cardoso

There are very few sons and daughters of the yesteryears Tiatrists
especially those who left this world, who took up to acting in the Tiatros following
in the footsteps of their fathers; the passionate after the Tiatro, Greg de Candolim the writer, director and
actor too of this Tiatro “DUSREANCHEM DHUINAKAT” is one of them. He is following in the footsteps of his
father P.Jack the then ace comedian who acted with those days great and gigantic Tiatrists
and earned name and fame. During those days in our locality and in surrounding
areas, so too in cities including Bombay where he first shot into prominence,
the name of P. Jack indicated in the Handbill was enough for the people to
flock to the "Mattou" where P. Jack was
acting. He was regular for Alexinho de Candolim.
Com. Johny de Calangute - Assumpta & Estu in another scene
The story of this Tiatro is based on the Tiatrists who criticise others
when they are full of flaws.
Seen singing his solo is Baba Jovito
Yet in another Scene seen are Websteer-Avelino-Siora-Director & Com. Johny
The major pressure of the Play was shouldered by Siddart, Comedian Johny
de Calangute, Estu, Assumpta and the youthful beauty of Konkani Stage Staci
Mesquita who decorated her body with disciplined and nice dress code thereby
maintaining the dignity of the female. The comedy role played by Comedian Johny de Calangute was well
appreciated by the audience and given a chance
I am sure he will fill the void created by any of the top comedians. His
acrobatic body moves were superb and his Stage confidence was excellent. The professional directors who are using the
third class “Burxe” comedians in their Burxe Tiatros threby earning them the
bad name as they are the promoters of Burxe Tiatrists, they should utilize his
talent. For me he looks like a born Comedian.
Seen above singing their song are Lynne & Violet
Pascoal de Calangute singing his solo
The role of the elderly woman played by Assumpta was great though at moments her hidden
youthfulness suddenly appearing on the surface. The youngsters namely Websteer,
Avelino and Siora played their roles well especial mention must be made to this young girl Siora who indicated lot of self confidence while doing her role. Greg de Candolim played his role well thereby indicating that he is also
a good actor. Estu and Joe Luis did justice to their roles.
In another scene are Staci & Siddarth
In the Side Show songs, the best song I liked was the one rendered by
Anna Maria and Staci Mesquita with the perfect blending of their beautiful
voices, they deserve highest compliments for this song. The duo of Lynne and
Violet was also rendered well. The others who sang well were Anil & Olga
duets, Joe Luis his duet with Anna Maria and the trio by Parra Boys. The solo
rendered by Olga was excellent. The other solos rendered by Staci Mesquita,
young boy Jovito, Ortencio, Tony de Ribandar,
his stylish singer son Mythen and Eugeno Cardoso (2 solos).
