Villagers of Candolim will celebrate Birth Centenary of one of the greatest tiatr artistes of Konkani stage – Aleixinho de Candolim. The Centenary Celebrations will begin with a thanks giving Mass on 29th of September, 2012 at the church of Our Lady of Good Hope, Candolim.

Born on 9th July 1913 in Candolim, Aleixinho de Candolim started to sing in Tiatrs at a very young age. He scripted his first tiatr entitled ‘Putanchea Duddvanchi As ani Avoyche Disgras’ in 1935. He himself composed all the songs and staged the tiatr with the help of village boys. The tiatr was liked by the people and the work of Aleixinho was well appreciated. Aleixinho established himself as a good writer and director too.
In all Aleixinho de Candolim scripted, directed and staged 27 tiatrs. These were staged in Goa as well as in Bombay.
