Video 1

Goa.. Going.. Gone?

It’s nothing but the present day Goa’s ‘talk of the town’
Be it at home, ‘Bolcanv’, pubs, ‘tintto’ or ‘Baimkodde’ (well) etc we all talk about it, don’t we?

Craze for Westernisation – Walk English, talk English and even sleep English –That’s all it is!

e.g. Cheddo, Sun, bhurgim Konkani uloun gharantlim bhair sortat punn eka vorsan ‘Svindon’ son porot etanam Inglez uloun gharant bhitor sortat

yeta, yeta nettan yeta re

Goa..Going.. Gone..? tiatr by Tomazinho Cardozo (President of Tiatr Academy of Goa/TAG) was the 6^th presentation in the ongoing 37^th Tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy of Goa (Supported by TAG) staged on 21^st Sept. 2011.

Today’s tiatr thrown opened at the hands of well known tiatrist and DKA president Premamnand Lotlikar (Also Tiatr advisory Committe member, KA).

Well, although the tiatr is like an old wine in a new bottle (somehow, I remember watching it about 3-4 years ago), it seems the houseful audience has well accepted the tiatr. I only speak from the audience feedback be it laughter or thunderous applause.

Every times Irene Cardozo delivers her ‘red English’ dialogues the audience simply burst into laughter. Some extra dialogues (off script?) spotted, perhaps, it’s a slip of the tongue

Anthony Carvalho (as Husband), Shivanand Naik (Son), Jocelyn Misquita did well too, I also like the dancing part of the bro/sis.

Tukaram Naik (Venkataraman), Shivram Achrekar (Migrant ‘Poder’) and Dyananeshwar Morajkar (Migrant ‘Nustekar’) and Sheik Amir at their best.

Joy Fernandes and Selza Lopes had a role in the end as brother and wife

Maria's role as 'jinga Mami' or 'ghanttin' or Lamani was good so also little Josepha as Jr. Jinga Mami.

All 13 songs were rendered very well. My favourite being the opening Chorus by Joao-Eugene-Tomazin, Mathias Macarenhas as Bebdo, Trio on Eduation Policy, Maria Cardozo as Tom Boy, Mario-Joao duet and political quartet by Eugene-Maria-Tomazin-Mathias

However, JoeGoaUk’s best child singer goes to little Lyne Fernandes (the youngest) who has sung with much confidence like a professional cantorist.
