37th tiatr Competition 2011 - PANCHANAMA

An accident takes place on the road – Reckless driving by a son of a rich businessman..

A girl and a cyclist (Milkman) dies on the spot.  A team of police arrives at the scene to conduct panchanama (inquest).

The father of the boy bribes the PI (Police Inspector) and get the Panchanama changed i.e. The driver of the car is now the deceased girl.  

  Another accident, another death, a school boy this time..
  The same father, once again,  comes begging to save his son... PI says not to worry, he will get the Panchanama changed by phoning another PI  under whose jurisdiction the accident occurred.
Bribe is higher this time as two PIs involved.

Soon, his driver comes in with bad news – PI son got killed in an accident.

The killer driver is none other than the one who was saved by the PI after changing the Panchanama.

Message:

There is another Panchanama, God’s Panchanama and no one can change it.

37th tiatr Competition 2011 - ATAM KONN?

What type of love marriage is this?

Lover turned husband soon started changing colours .
He, an MBA degree holder is superstitious too. Like his father, he too has problem with ‘Tiklem’ (or Tikttem – A girl child born after 3 males /brothers brings bad luck to family etc) . The girl is not ‘tiklem’ but the story very well cooked up by his father for she did not bring in enough dowry.  Girl’s brother did managed to give half of the dowry and working very hard to pay the remaining half.

Father, the dictator, rules the house.  He even sent his younger son James back to Bombay the very next day he arrived for  not supporting his father's superstitious views. He studies there and came home for vacations.

Doubting husband started torturing his pregnant wife,  now wants divorce,  he drives her out.

37th Tiatr Competition 2011 - ASRO

Father dies leaving behind  his wife  and very young children - two sons and a daughter

Mother brought them up single handedly – gave them the best she could.
One son working in Pune and the other in Canada.

Back home mother, daughter and a grandchild (handicapped / Crippled daughter of the eldest son, who was left with the granny  since birth).  Both sons don’t want to know about their mother and sister, never even phone.. One of them even got married and mother didn't know about it. At the time of daughter’s wedding they were informed but none replied back.  Marriage cancelled, mother could not afford it. Daughter decides never to marry and leaves home to work in Bangalore.

Both sons come home with a mission.  To sell their  ancestor’s house.  Strikes a deal with the builder – They get two double bed flats and one single bed and Rs. 25 lacs cash. Everything worked out -They keep double bed each and single bed for Mother/Daughter.

But where are the property papers?

They found out the property already been mortgaged by their mother to pay for the second son’s  job on ship and then to send him to Canada – loan to the tune of Rs. 6 lacs + the interest.

Plans now changed. Lost interest in the property for they don’t want to pay the loan.

Both are now leaving home never to come back again.  Elder son now takes his daughter with him too after 8 years living with her granny,  for his wife will never be able to conceive a child again.

When mother asked about the loan, they said they can’t afford it and suggested to sell the house.

And what about me? Asked the mother

‘join any old age home’  was the sons’ reply.

House property papers in safe hands. A good friend of her late husband and Godfather of the daughter.

Mother now decides to leave everything to her daughter when she returns back.

Daughter returns but she is not interested in these types of worldly things for she is now married to God ( much to the surprise of her mother).  Then again, she decides to accept it and donate to her organisation which will use it as a SHELTER for those who needed most such as her own mother.

ASRO a tiatr by Charles Fernandes (Drama & Cultural Association, Sancoale) was the 19^th entry in the ongoing 37th Tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy of Goa and supported by Tiatr Academy (TAG). Staged on 24th Oct. 2011.

37th Tiatr Competition ANIK EK NOVO DIS

by Antonio Manuel de Araujo
(Sao Gonsalo Dramatic Group, St. Cruz)
37th Tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy of Goa and supported by Tiatr Academy of Goa /TAG.  Staged on 23rd Oct. 2011
Today's tiatr opened at the hands of a Tiatr Lover and the director of Physical Education, Fr. Agnelo College, Pilar Shri Agnelo Dias

Mother was very happy- Enjoying life under the peaceful nature.

Things changes when a Portuguese came into her life.

New life, new dresses and western culture.

Yet she is sad – Her children are not happy.

They feel they are the prisoners in their own home.

Mother wishes soon there may be a new beginning, setting everyone free.  Desperately, waiting for the new day..

Eventually, she sees the light of the day –
Happy once again but not for long.

She now feels dejected. What that was not happened in 450 years

is now happening in just 50 years.

Lot of destruction, hill cutting, deforestation, illegal mining, garbage, corruption etc etc

Mother hoping for another revolution, another liberation and eventually, leading to ANOTHER NEW DAY

ANIK EK NOVO DIS a tiatr by Antonio Manuel De Araujo

It’s a different tiatr but has very strong message to us all.

It’s a bit of a history lesson too. Includes Kings, war, dictatorship, conversions, abolishing of SATI system, revolution leading to liberation.  Thereafter, a bit of anti-merger movement, Dr. Jack de Sequeira, Bhau or Bauhu, abandoning of traditional profession, Goans leaving Goa, Portuguese Passport etc.

Are we really liberated?
I am sure we all know the answer

A story well presented on stage, lot of efforts, costumes, stage setting, lights etc

Tiatr may not go well with some for it did not have uncles, aunties, sisters, grannies or grand pas, cooks etc nor it had a comedy part that a traditional tiatr has.

As for me, I like it. A lot to learn from it.

Dolla Marcarenhas played  very well the role of Mother Goa. Damodar Kerkar also done very well as Portuguese dictator with lot of Portuguese speaking. King, Revolutionist and Dr.Sequeira role also well played by Samir Gadekar.  Portuguese Soldad by Manuel Gonsalves was good too.

Supported by Xetkar (Reginald Nazareth), Porker (Jose Gonsalves), Dhobi (Agnelo),  Render (Remeto Dias), Poder (Agusto Teles), Chamar (Anton Joao Fernandes), Kunbhi/Sati (Maria Mendes), Bhatcar (Ave), Montri /Bhau (Jayesh Bhagkar), Bhott (Nani Lourenco) etc.

There were about 14 songs

  Sung by Ave, Ranice, Valenie, Com. Brian, Peter-Roshan, Carmo-Carol-Babylon Rego, Alvito Araujo, Baba Cyder Dias, Steve Rodrigues, Manuel, Agusto, Reginald, Peter Barbosa, F araujo and Ignatius de Xelvona (Inacinho Marcus Selizardo)

Com. Brian (Chak de) and Peter-roshsan (Patriotic), Ave (onupkari), Ignatius (xinkop/voddekar) etc  were some of the best

The show was nearly houseful.

37th tiatr Competition 2011 - JIVITBHOR

JIVITBHOR
by Salvador Afonso
(Sao Jose de Areal Two Cross Gymnasium Sports Club)
37th Tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy of Goa and supported by Tiatr Academy /TAG.
Staged on 20th Oct. 2011

Daughter changes her boyfriends like her mother changes sarees  (on stage)  see pic.

And why shouldn’t she? Like mother like daughter.  Infact, her mother admitted that she changed 7 boyfriends before  marrying to her father.

So far, the daughter changed 4 and now with London based NRI.  She dumped her previous boyfriend not just because he was working as a clerk but also he is handicapped by one leg which he got fractured while saving her..

Brother who is 5 years younger to her tries to put in some sense into her and the mother but all in vein.

Whatever she does, she gets full backing from her mother.

Brother has a girlfriend, an orphan (who was deserted by her unwed mother at a lake side with a note explaining her position).  The girlfriend finds out one day and started questening her adopted father. Very upset thinking how her boyfriend would react once he finds out.  Infact, the boyfriend knew about it even before he fell in love with her some two years ago.  He is determined never to leave her  come what may.

At home, his mother and sister vowed never to accept her as daughter/sister in law.

Having no other choice,  the son decides to quit home but at this time mother agrees but with dirty mind. 
Mother-daughter started giving her all type of ill-treatment.  The girl bears everything all by herself.  Never tells or says anything thing to her husband.

Mother’s birthday celebrations. Mother-daughter duo suddenly started treating the girl as part of their family much to the surprise of the girl.  They even prepared her favourite ‘custard’.

The dish (custard) mixed with poison, thanks to the cook/uncle who suspected it just in time.

The NRI boyfriend now returning to UK, he never had any intention to marry his girlfriend. He dumped her. 
For the girl, this was too much to taken on, very upset and even collapsed/fainted at home.

  Dotor reveals, she is pregnant.  (another child will be born from  another unwed mother). The daughter goes mental (lost her mind).

Son pointing his finger to his mother ‘It’s all your fault, you never cared about others, you have hurt so many people. It’s time now to repent... something that you will have to put up with,  for life’

JIVITBHOR a tiatr written by Salvador Afonso.

Daughter, Son and his girlfriend roles well played by Nacia Afonso, Mindroy Carvalho and Natasha Saldanha.  Mother being Clara Dias.  Adopted father by Vincy Mascarenhas and the uncle/Cook by young Joe Simoes.

Daughter’s boyfriends roles played by the playwright himself Salvador Afonso and Domnic Fernandes.  Supported by, Trindade, Lavina and young Joesan & Sanyo

There were about 12 song.
All singers were also actors in the main drama
All stage actors names started with S – e.g. Tasha, Tristen, Tiofilo, Troy, Trever, Thomas, Tommy, Teodor, Telma etc

Many expected young Joesan/Sanyo (sons Nacia/Salvador) to sing at least one more song but their father (Playwright) sang the most including the cants (3 solos, 1 duet & 3 Cants).

Overall acting of  Nacia was the best taking into account both main drama and singing roles. She won awards in the past KA's competitions.  One of the interesting songs of her's this time was a solo on one late Shilpa Naik? working with Hilda Menezes? of Porvorim..

Young Natasha Saldanha (New face) from Cuelim, also done very well and she can be a fine actress one day. Good at both singing and acting

Young Mindroy Carvalho, also from Cuelim, who we often see as singer (even has his own VCD) also done very well as one of the  leading roles in the drama. He sang one song too.
   
Our veteran Clara Dias was at her best. She is till good at shouting or negative roles. We also see her in KA's competitons every year.
Also sang a duet and a trio this time.

Band by Manuel Noronha and his team -  Listen to their intro – added to the clip

Today's tiatr opened at the hands of a tiatr lover and a Civil Sevices Govt. Officer Shri Manuel Almeida

37th tiatr Competition - HO UZO KEDNA PALOUTOLO?

By Selvin Fernandes
(St. Peter's Socio-Cultural Association, Siolim). 
37th tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy and supported by Tiatr Academy of Goa. Staged on 19th Oct. 2011

Although they were in love for two years, the Christian  boy was never serious about their relationship. The girl is Hindu coming from a lower middle class family.
He was using her, so he confessed.  He had to marry her due to pressure from both side of the parents as the girl was pregnant.  The boyfriend, now husband started ill-treating her with physical assaults. The father-in-law too treated her worst than a servant. The brother-in-law, who otherwise  remained neutral, thinking of taking advantage of the situation,  made unsuccessful sexual advances.

Although they come from a Landlord family background, the husband, supported by his father is now demanding a brand new car from his wife/in-laws. Typical dowry harassment.  He gives 2 months deadline.  The girl’s father and her brother would do anything for her even if they had to sell their agricultural land  and  mortgage their home.  Husband reminds her of the deadline where there were 10 day left.  On the last day of the deadline, the son goes out instructing his father to send her back home with bags and baggages if no car arrived by today.

The money or the car arrives just in time but who will drive the car?

The person who demanded it has just lost both his legs in an accident.

Haven’t we heard or read about Dowry harassment or dowry deaths?

In India, dowry related  problems are more and increasing day by day and that includes Goa. Rich and educated are the worst.
In last few months alone, there were about half a dozen dowry related deaths in Goa.

When this will stop?

HO UZO KEDNA PALOUTOLO?  Has highlighted the burning social issues in Goa such as dowry related .

Written by Selvin Fernandes (St. Peter’s socio-Cultural Association, Siolim)

The girl Surekha’s role well played by Flory Fernandes and I thought she was a Hindu girl for she sounded like one. Her father, although a young looking Bap’pa Milagres Carneiro., also done pretty well.   Followed by  boyfriend/husband Anthony Gonsalves, his father Cyril Remedious, brother Xavier D’Souza and the girl’s brother Simon Fernandes.

Typical Hindu household with Tulos or Tulsi in front and the father doing early morning puja by going around it deserve a special mention. A good set up.

There were about 15 songs sung by Anthony Gonsalves, Simon, Anthony Marcarenhas, Valanka, Valency, Domnic Lobo, Malaika, Godfrey Peixeto, Mariano Fernandes, Francis Silveira, Agnelo de Sta. Cruz, Anthony de Sta Cruz,  Johny, Forsu, Caetan and the playwright Selvin himself.

Comedy songs Mokekan and Randpinn ani Mest by Com. Forsu Fernandes and  Caetan Mascarenhas were my favourites - Watch video 2 below

There was also a song on novenas of Our Lady Perpetual Succor at Tivim sung by Francis Silveira.

Band by Mathias Mascarenhas with Agnelo Dias, Nixon, Antonio, Tony  and the young drummer Luis Mascarenhas.  Listen to their 2 intros ‘Zubi Zubi (3 idiots)'  and Konkani Jacint Vaz song (Nirmon) added to the video 1 clip, see below

Today, (19/10/11) tiatr opened at the hands of a lady member of the audience Smt. Santana Cunha

37th tiatr Competition 2011 - TUMI AMKAM ZAI

Family with two sons. One is a Lawyer and the other is a Doctor in a hospital.

Doctor has bungalows and properties worth crores of rupees and where these money coming from?

Body organs removing and selling racket headed by the doctor himself.

With his power and money, the doctor thinks no can beat him, not even his own lawyer brother.

Well, his brother did try to file case against him (doctor) and the hospital for illegal body parts smuggling etc but his daughter was kidnapped not for monetary ransom but withdrawal of the case in exchange. Again, the doctor involved in kidnapping.

How long can the doctors carryon with such illegal activities?

Every dog has it’s day.  After carefully investigating the racket, the doctor's case is finally handed over to CBI with all the possible hard evidence gathered against him by none other than his very own father. But before CBI reaches him, the doctor uses the quickest available route to escape from this world.

Well, it’s not an easy task to expose & prosecute such rich and wealthy cheats (doctors in this case)

The family says ‘ to do anything like that or to weed out any such malpractices prevailing in the society there is an urgent need of  public support’ in other words, ‘we need you’

TUMI AMKAM  ZAI was the 15^th Tiatr entry in the ongoing 37^th Tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy of Goa and supported by TAG.  Staged on 18^th Oct. 2011.

With this, we are now half away through the competition i.e. another 15 still to go.

The tiatr has a good message.

It also exposed some corrupt photojournalists - blackmailing women etc

Besides, it talked about greed, kidnapping, worshiping other gods, black magic etc

Sons roles well played by Mathew Marcarenhas and Jason Rodrigues, their wives being Magdalene Fernandes and Meena Fernandes. Parents being Agnelo d’souza nd Viena Cardozo and the little one by Eliza Cardozo.  Ragoba, the Balla or gaddi played by Deepak Mandrekar

Corrupt Photojournalist role very well played by Kalpesh Fondekar, remember seeing him last year’s competition too as Patrakar.

Comedy by Com Michael and Com. Jimmy



Tiatr had about 12 songs sung by Anil-Olga, Jr. Francis de Mandrem, Romaldo  Fernades, Terrence or Terrance de Arambol, Freddy.  Besides, Meena, Mathew, Jason, Viena, Com. Michael and Com. Jimmy also sang.

Alfred and Evarist sang a duo on the faithful dogs (8) which delayed their master’s (Philip Rodrigues) funeral by an hour, recently at Panjim. watch video below. Infact, this is the second song in the ongoing competition  on the same topic.

A song on Bl. Jose Vaz (Anil-Olga) was my favourite. audio part added to the Video clip.

Band by Piety Fernandes and his team.  Band's intro also added to the clip - playing 1966 ' Oh, dance, dance, dance to my ten guitars..'

  Tiatr written by Joaquim Faleiro (Bhusan Sanskrutik  Sangh, Morjim, Goa).
Today’s tiatr opened at the hands of  a Goa state award winner for Drama (1982) and a regular member of the audience Dr. Gerry Rodricks (see pic)

It also talked about greed, religion,  non-believers, devil/Satan, possession, temptation, black magic etc

After the death of his wife, the God fearing husband suddenly started welcoming Satan by driving away God from his home (Priests, Our Lady, Olotor etc)

If not God then Devil will RESIDE in your home

Secnes of Home blessing (Beziment after Easter),   Saibinn or Our Lady  (visiting house to house, see pic), and a special Podd’ddo with a giant church  (Complex) on it (see pic) were some of the peculiarities of the tiatr which go well with the story.

Their Master’s voice once asked the devils on earth ‘how many times I should forgive you?’The two Devils replied ‘ Seventy time seven’ to which their master said ‘there is no such thing in his kingdom’.  Again, their Master said to them ‘I can watch your activities on earth on my CCTV’
Audience burst into laughter
