TIATRO "APURBAECHIM FULAM" BY LAWRY TRAVASSO.


 
It was a full house yesterday’s Tiatro “APURBAECHIM FULAM”written and directed by Lawry Travasso, at Kala Academy, Panjim, at 7.30 PM.

The story is based on the latest trend of dumping the old parents into the Azilo and the fad of not believing in Mother Mary, the tussle between parents believing in Mother Mary and opposing this by the son and daughter- in- law.  “Apurbaechim Fulam” is referred to the children who inspite of being brought up by the parents with love and affection, finally get them admitted into Old Aged House.

The role of aged father played by Tari was excellent having strong support of Rosy Alvares as his wife.  Lawry Travasso’s character role of a dejected man was very good and the role played by Mario Menezes deserved highest compliments, it was played very appropriately in all respects. Franky and Antonette de Maina both as young wedded couple played their part well. As usual pretty looking Antonette de Maina dazzled the audience with her attractive dress code.

In the comedy part though there were too many comedians yet comedy Queen Jannet, John D’Silva and Agostinho Temudo stole the show.

In the Side-Show Songs though there were too many songs based on religion yet the solos of Xavier Gomes,  Marcus Vaz, Lawry Travasso, Tony de Ribandar, Rosy Alvares and Francis de Tuem were well accepted by the Audience. Ribandar’s duet with Antonette de Maina was interesting.

Well done Lawry Travasso and his troupe.

IS BISHOP OF GOA GUILTY OVER VANXIM SALE?

 
Four months are finished now and still there is no arrest of the murderers of Fr. Bismak and it looks BJP government is shielding the murderers.  Fr. Bismark was fighting for shielding the Vanxim Island from the clutches of big buillders who got entry into Vanxim thru the open arms of the Bishop of Goa.  Ironically, immediately after the murder of Fr. Bismark, Goa government doled out the facilities for the builders to step into Vanxim and convert it into a brothel for national and international customers.  Who is going to be responsible for turning Vaxim island into a sinful place?  Will it not be the head of Goa Church who is supposed to be a holy man spreading the gospel of upright life and not a sinful life?  I think time will come for the faithful in Goa to reject the Bishop of Goa who is helping the sinners to spread sin in Goa.

On 11th of this month at T. B. Cunha Hall, Panjim, Bharat Mukti Morcha organized a meeting to take stock of the Vanxim situation and to mark  the 10th anniversary of the sale of Vanxim by the Goa Bishop to Mahendra Gauneckar.  Also discussed in this meeting was the problem faced by the employees of “Nestle” company.

During the Press Conference conducted there, the president of BMM Maggie Silveira  besides other things asked the Bishop Neri  Ferrao to show all the letters sent to Vatican  to obtain permission to sell Vanxim to Gaunekar.  As per Canon Law 1291 Church cannot sell Church property to anyone with obtaining approval from the Vatican. According to the information, Bishop sold the Vanxim without Vatican’s  permission and hence Bishop committed a robbery and a crime against Vatican. Can we trust such a man to be our pastoral leader? Will it not be right for the faithful to reject his authority?

Meantime, it is surprising to note that there is a total silence on the campaign to demand justice for Fr. Bismark.  Are they kept silent by the government or by the Church or by the builders lobby?  Those who were shouting and demonstrating on the streets must come out with some answers of their silence.
