37th Tiatr Competition 2011 - ASHA


College ragging gang - Suraj, Chelsi, Joel, Alton & Valencia
It’s a Romeo-Juliet, Laila-Majnu, Heer-Ranjha type of  LOVE STORY

Except,
-      The two lovers from Goa
-      One Christian and the other Hindu Mahar
-     One survives but never marry again

The hero is a loafer or mugger, son of a rich man.
The girl’s Tapott (Slap)  changes his life –  He falls in love with her.

But the boy’s father would not accept it, he wants a girl for his son from a rich and higher society family. The girl did not get approval from her father too.
The two love birds decides to run away but their bike met with an accident killing the boy instantly

Asha’s condition was serious but she survives and dedicate her life to social services.

 ASHA
by Joaquim Dias
(Veer Hanuman Natya Mandal, Merces-Vaddy)
37th tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy of Goa
(supported by Tiatr Academy /TAG). Staged on 10th Nov. 2011
Today’s tiatr opened at the hands of a tiatrist Shri Steve Rod.
Bouquet of flowers also presented to the three judges – see pic
Alvito Fernandes, Fr. Glenn D’Silva and Shantaram Pawar
Well, I like this tiatr too.
Beautiful stage setting, depicting rich and poor section of the society, their standard of living etc

College life, ragging in the canteen etc also beautifully shown which deserve full marks -watch a clip on ragging - Video 3 below
Roles well played by all.
The interesting part of this tiatr is that there are many non-Christian Tiatrists.

The hero-Heroine themselves are Suraj Hoble and Smital Hoble, what a superb acting!
The girls father was Shyam Hoble. Then there were two more Hobles-Milind and Nikhil,

Besides, the college professor Shivdas Govekar, Gauresh Naik, Vaishalie, Reena Shirodkar etc.


The boy’s father and mother roles also well played by Santan Luis d’Mello (who is one of the regualars at KA Tiatr Competition) and Maria Martin.
Girl’s brother was young Rosario De Souza who also done very well.
Typical Ragging gang -by Suraj, Chelsi, Joel, Alton and Valencia
well played too.
Comedy handled by com. Jane Rebello and Com. Socoro D’silva.
  There were about 10 songs sung by Camilo Rodrigues, Benny Fernandes, Rosario, Ranika, Valency, Luiza, Francis, Tracey, Evola etc

The last one was was everybody’s favourite 83 year young Minglu de Merces.
  Infact, the audience joined him singing 'MARAMARI'  as can be seen in the Video 1 below.  Damn, my camera battery run down during the song, quickly replaced though..

I remember seeing Minglu evey year at KA Tiatr Competitions. His comedy solos are unique – unusual style and loved by all.
I also see him at Sangodd at Orda, Candolim every year.

Minglu gets a special award from JoeGoaUk  for his lifetime contribution to tiatr stage.

As said, the tiatr was good.
 It was nearly housefull.

37th Tiatr Competition - THANK YOU DOCTOR




The relationship between ‘Bhatkar’ and 'Mundkar’ (Landlord/Tenant)  is like that of a cat and a dog’s.
In view of above situation, which landlord or landlady would allow his or her only daughter to marry the Mundkar’s son?

But they say ‘Love is Blind’ the girl (Simenca) determines to marry her childhood sweetheart Melvyn despite all odds.  The mother or the landlady did everything she could to separate them  but it did not work out and eventually gives her consent by agreeing to their relationship.


Like every Bollywood films  had villains be it  Ajit, Ranjeet or Shakti Kapoor, this  one too had a villain – Mr. Lobo.  He would do anything to marry the girl for her riches, even if he had to murder his own girlfriend in typical Mahanand style.  Melvyn gets the blame and sent to Jail.
Lobo all set to marry Simenca –
Waiting for his bride at the Church but Simenca does the act of  ‘Runaway bride’,  a social activist saves her life at the suicide point.

Like every dog has its day,  Mr. Lobo had his too. He is now in the police net. 

Thanks to the Doctor ( who is also the social activist) for a family re-union and a peaceful ending.
 
THANK YOU DOCTOR

37th Tiatr Competition 2011 - POJISANV




These dirty minded sons and equally dirty daughter were like parasites living on their aged father.
  Although grown up and educated, none of them work but come home to eat and sleep as the cost of their father who works hard as a ‘Render’ (Toddy Tapper). Nor they would give a helping hand to their father in his house-work including cooking.  The father even washes their clothes.

The only sensible person in the house is the youngest son who even works part time selling newspapers etc early morning before going to college, he being the youngest, the brother and sister would bully him and take all his earnings. 
  Father falls down from the coconut tree and loses his leg.  None of the three stone hearted went to the hospital instead they wished him dead at the time of the accident..

Fed up with them, the father asked the 3 to leave the house (hoping they will change..).


Father wins a lottery  and the three wolves return back in sheep’s clothing. As the things did not work out as planned, one son kills his own father for the lottery money.  When police arrived, they pointed their finger to the youngest brother who was sent to jail for the crime he never committed.

Elder brother now lives in a new bungalow, thanks to the lottery money. He has a live-in girlfriend too who rules the house.  His girlfriend gets a birthday present – House/property papers in her name.

Now that she is the legal owner, she orders everyone to leave the house including brothers and sister so that she can live peacefully with her husband.  ..and who’s that lucky person or would be husband?

Definitely, not the elder brother
  It was a well planned formula by the two who come forwards and say ‘that’s our  Style’

POJISANV
by Peter Correia
(Ganesh Sports & Cultural Club, Vasco)
37th Tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy and supported by Tiatr Academy of Goa / TAG
Staged on 8th Nov. 2011

Todays tiatr opened at the hands of a senior tiatrist and man of thousand faces, Shri C D Silva


All roles well played by all.
   Father was Trindade Fernandes who acted as a traditional Render, did his work on Adavao (de-scaling fish etc ), cleaning pot by the well-side, change clothes showing traditional Kaxtti etc – He deserves full marks. Elder son was Martin de Ponda / Mendes, second son was the playwright himself Peter de Vasco /Correia. The daughter was Janet Fernandes and the youngest one was Baptist Crasto. The girlfriend was Meena Goes who did very well too. Supported by Minguel D’Costa (PI), Minino and Sebastiao

Comedy part played by Com Marcus supported by Pascoal Fernandes, Nestade Mendes and Violet fernandes

There were about 11 songs, all well received by the audience.


Singers were Rodson, Maria, Com Marcus, Violet,  Sonia Dias (who I first saw  as child actor in 2005 in Tony Dias Tiatr), Gaby, Michael, Janet, Baptist, Glissen, Trindade, David D’Costa etc
  The tiatr although sound bit old fashioned, the overall performance was good.

Young brother returns back from prison with same style or appearance - It takes atleast 10-15 years to set free on parole.

It ended at 10.10 pm

Don't remember watching Chouko (a quartet song)

37th Tiatr Competition AIKON SOGLEANCHEM MAGNNEM




Family disowned their son (Leo) for marrying an orphan.
They were happily living together with a school going daughter (Reema)...

Wife (Simran) suddenly developed some complications,  various medical tests proved that she is dying of brain tumour.  Nothing the Doctors can do about it except some Divine interventions
Just before the major operation, Simran was taken for a scan and the result was miraculous

Faith can move mountains they say but in this case it was proved that Prayers too can move mountains.  A family that pray together, stays together.
When you give others, you give to God and He will bless you abundantly.  Simran did help others

Impossible is possible with powerful prayers.
Thanks to the  prayers of the daughter, husband, the priest  and everyone,   the dreadful tumour vanished.

37th Tiatr Competition 2011 - UZVADDACHO DIVO




The two love each other very much, even the girl’s father was aware of it.
The boy (Raymond)  had plans to work in Goa by setting up an industry where locals can be employed.
Raymond’s best friend  (Bosco) also wants to marry  the same girl (Felcy) for  her ‘girestkai’ (Riches) as she is the only daughter of her wealthy father.  

Raymond is now in hospital, met with an accident (Bosco behind it).
After discharge from hospital, Raymond suddenly started changing his plans.

First, he goes to Gulf and then he phones Felcy that he now wishes to marry another girl and that she should look for another one for her.

Why suddenly this changes or behaviour?
Did Raymond ever go to Gulf? (Seen on the phone speaking to Felcy from behind the same cross where they used to meet each other regularly).

Did he marry to another girl?
Was Raymond lying? If so, why?

Felcy finds out the reason from the hospital/doctor..

Felcy says to Raymond ‘I will be always there for you no matter what happens, trust God, He is great, He is hope, He is the lamp (of light).
UZVADDACHO DIVO
by Rosario Fernandes
(Shri Ganaraj Sangeet Sanskritic Mandal, Quitula)
37th Tiatr Competition organised my Kala Academy and supported by Tiatr Academy of Goa (TAG).  Staged on 3rd Nov. 2011

Today’s tiatr opened at the hands of a member of the audience and a regular participant in the KA’s Tiatr Competitions and awards winner in the singing category Mrs. Betty D’ Cunha.  Husband-wife duo always seen in the audience.
Band by Vitorino Araujo (Trumpet) with Romeo Fernandes (2nd Trumpet), Roy Menezes (Sax), Nixon Vaz (Keyboard), Anthony Fernandes (Base) and Paklo Xavier Fernandes on Drums



Felcy’s role played by Preciosa Fernandes, Valeriano Fernandes (Raymond), Peter Fernandes (Bosco), Marcus D’Souza (Father). Supported by Bernard Fernandes (Doctor) and Flavia Fernandes (nurse).

Comedy part by Bostiao (Marciano Noronha), Domnic (Rosario Fernandes) and Rama (Graciano Furtado) and Conceicao (Mrs. Sucurine Pereira). 'Ek ful teen Mali' but who is the lucky guy?
It's Domnic who finaly marry Conceisao. First child is born, and the couple wish to name the child as per the lattest trend i.e taking half of mother and half of father's name. CON-DOM in this case.  We had a great laugh.

The tiatr has about 12 songs.
Most songs were heard before (may be children Tiatr Festival) but well received by the audience.

The two little ones Bai Lia Noronha (d/o Marciano) and Bai Nikita Machado sang 3 song  which are liked by all.
Rosario Fernandes on Robert de Calvim and Francis de Tuem was good too. Last year, I remember his song dressed as Mahanand.

Then there was a quartet or choucko where minister takes bribe through his Secretary leaving no proof to the giver and the CID officer who photograph while handing over the money bag. 
Songs by Garaciano Furtado, Marciano Noronha, Mercy Coelho, Flavia  Fernandes, Bernard, Valerian, Peter, Preciosa etc were also good.
However, Cant singing was not that good.

Tiatr got over around 9.15pm (the earliest so far)

37th Tiatr Competition 2011 - RINNKARI




This rich business man (Rudolf) seems more desperate for a child than his wife.
Not that his wife never conceived his child but  all previous pregnancies ended in miscarriages.

Wife is now pregnant for the 4th time but the situation seems even more delicate than before.
Would be father now  makes a vow before God that if  a child is born this time, he would give him or her  to God (as Nun or Priest).

Good news!  Rudolf gets a phone call – It’s a baby girl (prematurely born, had to shift to Bombay)
The father did not even see his child yet but started to change his colour like that of a chameleon.

‘I will send her to the best school and then to the best Business Management College ...’


Child come home for the first time with her uncle and aunty but where is the mother? Why wouldn't they allow lighting of firecrackers?
Rudolf lost his child too, for this, he himself to be blamed for he didn't keep up with his promises  thus remaining  always indebted to God

RINNKARI
by Jose Fernandes
(Majorddechim Noketram, Majorda)
37th Tiatr Competition organised my Kala Academy of Goa and supported by Tiatr Academy / TAG
Staged on 2nd Nov. 2011
 Today’s tiatr opened at the hands of a tiatr Mogi and an Account Officer at Goa University Shri. Luis Noronha
Rons  as Rudolf done very well in acting followed by Jerson Fernandes as his brother-in-law.

Jose Fernandes, the playwright,  as a sasupai and as a traditional farmer or Zotkaxi,  seen in his traditional attire (Kaxtti), something we rarely see on stage. I know there are people in villages who would not give up  their tradition or dress code despite having learned sons and daughter in the family.
Other actors were  Melinda, Liberata, Jolibia etc

Comedy provided by Cima and Com. Seby.
Seby’s singing made everybody laugh particularly in a Lamani trio



The tiatr had about 11 songs.
Songs by Conie M, Raggio Fernandes, Jerson Fernandes, Melinda, Melisa-Elaine,  Joliber, Manuel, Diogo etc were some of the best.

Joliber while talking on terrorism, says it’s time to have Metal detectors at all Tiatr Halls etc – It does makes sense though.
Raggio says ‘Tiatrisponn’  is an art, not available at any shop to buy from and  ask why some Tiatr with ‘English titles’  when we don’t find English plays/films with Konkani titles?
The chouko - Traffic cops with duplicate challan book (Rons),  cheating Doctor (Connie M), Lawyer (Manuel) and Mechanics (Raggio) also good.

Jerson Fernandes as typical tarvotti also done well, who comes to meet prospective brides - Melissa and Elaine
Band by Jolly Boys – Intro is added to the Clip 1

37th tiatr Competition 2011 - TEAG




 This young God fearing mother’s life is full of sacrifices.
She  has two daughters and a handicapped  son.
Youngest one is about 18 months old. Husband works for a private firm and sometimes comes home drunk yet this family was a happy family.

One day, the mother finds out from her doctor  that she is dying  and that too very soon.
Husband was the only hope to take care of the kids once she is gone.


Very upset with his wife illness,  while going to a pharmacy to buy some medicines to her,  meets with an accident and dies on the spot. 
What’s going to happen to my kids now? Exclaimed the mother

What options does she have now other than giving her kids for adoption while she is still alive?
TEAG is written by Derrick D'Mello (Penha de France Art &
Socio-Cultural Academy) was the  24th entry in the 37th Tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy (supported by TAG).

Todays tiatr opened at the hands of  a tiatr lover and Ex. Govt Servant / Dy. Director etc Shri. Manuel Almeida
This tiatr could win many awards including child category, stage setting, script/lyrics etc

Everyone played their roles well.
The scene where the little one was taken for adoption made almost eveybody’s eyes wet including Company directors or Chairmen in the audience - Me included.

Beautiful stage setting with the statue of Our Lady of Penha de France with a Crocodile at Her feet will definitely score max. marks see pic.  There was also a Cemetery scene in the end which also deserve full marks.
Young Shanaya Pereira and little Cameron Fernandes done pretty well both in acting and singing including Cant singing. The mother Sabina Fernandes could even win top prize for best female acting.

The youngest one was Baby Valanka Dias also scored lot of public applause.
Father being Domnic Araujo and the village priest Derrick D’Mello  acting being natural or traditional.
