NEW TIATRO "DEVAK SODDUN DEVCHARAK NOMOSKAR" WRITTEN BY TARI & DIRECTED BY FRANCIS DE TUEM.


This is yet another evidence to prove those “Dedd Xanne” pundits who say  that Tiatros are coming to an end in Goa because people dislike them now.  They even  said that very shortly its existence will remain in the history books only for the posterity to know that once upon a time there wēr̥ē Tiatros in Goa etc.  These bloody fools, the Goan pundits are rubbish people who are fit for nothing in Goa except to  act as pessimists for anything that  is going  on well.  To prove them wrong there is yet another example to show that within  three days in a village  Calangute two Tiatros were staged in the Church Compound, the first one was on 8th and the second on 10th of this month and both were fabulously patronized by the Tiatros enthusiasts.  Moreover again on the 18th of this month in Candolim there is  going to be another Tiatro of the renown director Irineu Gonsalves and once again at the end of this month yet there is going to be another Tiatro at Calangute.  This is like a feast of Tiatros for the craze of  the innumerable people who are interested in patronising the Tiatro



The Tiatro that was staged  on 10th of this month by the two top Tiatrists namely Tari as writer and Franncis de Tuem as director  was started right in time as stipulated at 7.30 PM thereby maintaining the time discipline for which I congratulate the writer and director and this Tiatro was once again like the earlier one was very well patronised by the huge number of audience. This Tiatro is staged in aid of one young boy of 11 years Daylan Borges from Calangute who is suffering from some deadly sickness and to cure it lot of money running into crorers of, is required.  Knowing the plight of that sick boy , one Bom Samaritan from the Calangute village itself gave as donation of Rs.45,000.00/- the contractual charges of Tiatro i.e. of this Show.

 


Inspite of being such a fat amount the donor of this big amount requested not to disclose his name thus giving a Biblical example that said “What you give in your right hand your left hand should not know”.  It is a very good lesson for many of us especially the politicians of  the third grade who by robbing the money from here and there like extorting bribe from  the innocent poor and even from the treasury of Government and giving  this  same money as assistance to some people and make such a big noise of this financial help that they think they made a big thing.

  


With the help of the looted money or illicit money you cannot achieve good result. Even when I see in our Churches the Benches where it was written at the Centre the name of the person who paid the money for those Benches.  It is becoming very disturbing and slavish even in the house of God such cheapness and advertisement of the cheap people is exhibited by those Catholics who are not very well conversant in Christianity or they may be fooled by their Church Pe. Vigars to insert their names on those Benches with the promise to make pompous show of their donation.




Some of our Pe. Vigars and Pe. Curs are not interested in anything except their goals, i.e. the money – for such priests Christian doctrine “gal dobean”. Because of such priests namely Pe. Vigars and Pe, Curs, non-Catholic Christian denominations like Believers are mushrooming everywhere in Goa. I am sure these Non-Catholic denominationas will surely and shortly outbeat Catholicism.    




In this Tiatro of Tari I saw many new faces of the artistes both males and females but they proved their worth while acting and singing, their performance  was  worth admiring.  The play is surroundd along the family story where a Goan girl elopes with her non-Goan Ghantee type of boyfriend finally she suffers a lot. This was very pathetic story when even the mother of the eloped girl refuses to accept her daughter back home when she returned miserably home.  The role played by Tari of the brother of the girl was excellent thus proving once again that he is the  best to perform such roles while the role of the father played by  Agusto de Calangut was worth admiring and as his wife Roma in her usual manner performed her role very well and proved to everyone that why she is in high demand and loved by the audience..   Both Vilbert as boyfriend and as his girlfriend Afifa de Morjim played their roles well while the one Canto that rendered by Afifa was excellent, it was lyricswise very good but rendering it was most beautiful.



The Side Show songs were good where especial mention must be made to the opening solo which  was well composed and also rendered well by Peter de Arambol, the songs rendered by Agusto de Calangute worth admiring, the duet rendered by Peter de Arambol and Roma was beautiful emitting wonderful looks of her with her style a bit changed., Francsi de Tuem playing the captain inning rendered his  political song  indicating his joining the Didi’s party Trinamool Congess and why his oppoinets become so inquisitive of it, Marcos Vaz and Xavier Gomes also rendered their solos well so also by Shasha with her beautiful looks and majestic personality.  Other items too were well performed  especially the one performed by Francis de Tuem – Marcus Vaz – Xavier Gomes and Lawy Travasso that got them lot of encores. 



The comedy part was fantastic where Excellent comedian Riston with his acrobatic body played  his role well but if  he wants to  rule the comedy world supremely like Anthony Mendes, Jacinto Vaz, Kid Boxer he must put an  end to imitate some of his “Rostad” comedian colleagues on the Konkani stage and who brought disgrace to the Konkani Stage by using vulgarity in their dirty comedy.  This Kalcho Poircho Potto has to learn some basic discipline espcially from his home given to him by his parents and not act like an orphan.  We need good comedians but not the disgrace 0ur Stage which was well developed by the ace comedians of yesteryears.  By doing the role of a woman and using your inflated chest to give jerks to show it to the audience looks so vulgar besides using vulgar words is not acceptable.  Just because a few members of the audience applaud this type of cheap vulgar comedy that does not mean people like this type of dirty comedy.  We the audience must oppose this type of third grade comedy by the third grade comedians who in fact lack basic home diuscipline having been brought up by the hired parents. The director and the seniors should guide these youngsters, comedians who think they are stalwarts.   Konkani Stage is not my father’s property to dictate my terms but neither it is the monopoly of all who does vulgarity on our Konkabi Stage.  In this matter both the writer Tari and Director Francis de Tuem should shoulder their responsibility as seniors and tell the  vulgar comedian to behave well especially In front of the Church.  This comedian has got very scope on the Konkani Stage and I want him to come up to fortify our Tiatros, for this reason I request him to be good and disciplined. The other comedian Agnelo played his comedy  role very well.  As a whole, the entire comedy was fantastic



While concluding I congratulate Tari and Francis de Tuem and their entire troupe including the Musicians under their leadership Alex who provided a very good musical score.

ROSEFERNS NEW TIATRO "ATAM YEYAT" STAGED AT CALANGUTE.

 

NEW TIATRO – ATAM YEYAT” BY ROSEFERNS.

To mark the feast of our Lady of Conception, the  tiatro “Atam Yeyat” by the well -known playwiright and director Roseferns staged his Tiatro at Calangute in the Church Compound with the very thick number of audience attending it on 08.12.21  and starting at 7.30 PM. 

Roseferns as a director carry the copliments of all the disciplined people who attended this Tiatro because of adhering to the timing by starting this Tiatro within the given time.  As it is Roseferns is very systematic in his activities and that  he is so his posture and body language say.  His feudality of attitude is reflected on his way of walking while his elegant talk indicates high culture of his which type very few Tiatrists are having.  His wholesome physical structure makes those who are opposite to him take a very good opinion.of him because of this caliber of his he enjoys good respect among the Tiatrists and others too.  His main forte is his patience.

 

This Tiatro was already staged at few places during the last so many weeks back and wherever it was staged it was well attended by the attendees taking into consideration the hardships people are undergoing and inspite of this sickly atmosphere thanks to the Corona 19 Virus, even if the attendance comes to 25% only it is a big achievement for the director that goes into his favour.  Besides, Roseferns’ image is already gone into the minds of the people as one of the best writers and directors, at least now.

 

The story of this Tiatro is surrounded on 2 Brothers, their roles were performed well by Zuzu and Roseferns and it is based on  jealousy in which lot of incidents come to the fore and since this is the new Tiatro and will be staged all over Goa, I  refrain from disclosing the contents fully leaving the Tiatro lovers to see this Tiatro by personally attending.


The side show songs were performed well but the major compliments goes to Saby de Divar whose one solo on the current fluid political situation was acclaimed at the best in lyrics and in singing too.

NEW TIATRO “GOENCHE FUDDARI” BY IRINEU GONSALVES.


Attended by a good  number  of audience at Hanuman Tiatro Hall, Mapusa, the well known Tiatro Writer and Director Irineu Gonsalves staged his 7th Tiatro yesterday on 20.11.21 starting sharp at 3.30 pm – as scheduled – thus maintaining the great J.P. Souzalinian discipline of very rigidly adheeriing to the time chedule.. The story begins in the College Campus and linked to the current local political scenario where the last 2 scenes make the Tiatro gained  a solid impact where the dirty acts of the politicians are exposed.  In this particular segment a well seasoned and handsome artiste Willy, lovely looking  Dola and  others played their respective roles very good giving no chance to their adversaries to pin point any accusing finger for any wrong doing especially in their vocal deliveries which were excellent especially when they were referring to  our disgraceful local politicians.  


IN fact the writer and director Irineu Gonsalves was also one of the best soccer players playng then for the famed Salgaocars Sport Club.  Besides he had unique distinction as a  Goan Soccer Ambassador to  visit some European and South American countries to see, to watch and to know from close angles the intricacies of organsing and other aspectsa of World Cup Turnaments where he came in contact with the World best and renown ex footballlers with whom he had discussion on certain finer points of soccer.  Almost all the best footbaolers this World produced he met and had conversation with him, by doing this he proved to the entire World that India is also a footballing nation and not only a Cricketting  and Hockey nation.  What India cannot do and did not do our own brother Irineu Gosalves did.

 




This Tiiatro is the good reminder for our voters to punish all the rubbish politicians  in the coming election. There are no dirtiest politicians anywhere in India as we have them in Goa,  They  are so dirty and so bad that for power and noney they would even dole or sell their wives and daughters and who can say it is done or not?  The only persons who could put a brake on them to prevent them from committing  the adulterous actions are the current generation of youth who I feel by now should be ready to shoulder their responsibility of sending back home all the Judases who betrayed us with their Judas kisses of betrayal.    



Since earlier lot has been written in praise of this  Tiatro and still people are to see  this Tiatro, I will not go too deep into this again and leave it to them to see  this Tiatro that gives  a very good message for our voters in the next election. In this Tiatro the capacity of our youth is  very much highlighted and  they can bring into the picture their power to bring  a change in our political scenhario.  As it is, youth comprises greater number of Voters and sihnce this is the case  it is their duty to play their role rightly.

In the Side Show part, as Olga Vaz captured more attention with her political song, so too the trio of Joaquim – Jr. Reagan – Tony de Ribandar – since both their songs were good and meaningful and incidentally Tony de Ribanda was at his best while singing both their trios. Benevangelisto’s duet on Music  with his partner scully,, Marcus VAZ’s both the solos, Anil – Olga’s duet gave and extra booster to this Side Show songs.

The Projector was well handled by Chelsea that brought extra colour this already colourful Tiatro and the Musical score was beautifuly provided by the renown musicians namely James, Senon, Norbert, Cristo, Xavier Paklo  and Frenky.



For his generous social work especially during the Covid callamity days when Goa Government under the supervision of Health Ministry headed by “kalcho poircho potto” Viswajeet Rane neglected innumerable Goans to die misera bly when these deaths were aoidable, Anil Pednecar was felicitated on the Stage during the Interval by Mr. Nagvenkar the director of Ann Institute. Thru this Tiatro we noticed that Irineu is the first Tiatrist to write such a high caliber Tiatro with the elite subject and Anil Pednecar being the first Tiatrist to put his life into peril to help the Covid ptients at GMC Bambolim by personally spending so many nights with the patients there. Not only that, that they both husband and wife i.e Olga Vaz were so kind hearted that they are on record to have returned the cash money to the director when they came to know of the loss the director suffered in one Show of his Tiatro.
