37th tiatr Competition - GOA.. GOING.. GONE

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

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.

Other good singers were Vhorty Sequeira, Violet D’Souza, Stacy Misquita, Josepha D’Souza, Lumena Sequeira.

India Against Corruption with Anna-ji on stage - A chorol song well presented a goup of 8 youngsters with Sheik Amir as Anna.

However, when Eugene singing his solo, there appears to be some minor or unnoticed problems of FLs, I could be wrong on this

Band by Luis Cota and his group (listen to the tracks in the Video2 background)

Overall, the audience seems to be happy with the performance

How the 3 judges take it, only the November 11 will reveal.

As said, the tiatr was houseful. Also understand, the organiser or the villagers bought about 150 tickets in bulk.

Plenty of tiatrists spotted, prominent amongst them Prince Jacob, Minin de Bandar, Socoro de Sta. Cruz etc etc

37th Tiatr Competition - TUM KUIM ASSA?

37th Tiatr Competition - TUM KUIM ASA?

video

We all talk about the others, don’t we?

Doubting husband talk about his wife of her alleged misdeeds or disloyalty and even punish her without even giving her a chance to explain.

Wives being women, they should always remain faithful to their hubbies and that’s the Law or norm of our wicked society.

Wife is always to blame..

And what about you Mr. Husband? ‘Where are you’ in this?

‘Tum Khuim Asa’ by Francis Fernandes, directed by Shirish Naik was the 5^th presentation by the people of Pomburpa and Salvador-do-Mundo in the ongoing 37^th tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy of Goa (supported by Tiatr Academy-TAG). Staged on 20^th Sept. 2011.

Tiatr thrown open at the hands of Prince Jacob

A tiatr well presented with many innovations on stage.

Typical Goa on stage

It even had Village Tintto (noisy fish market) on stage full marks for that.

Another onstage creation I like is the colourful Flower Festival.

Besides, it even had kinetic scooter, gas cylinder, Solar Cooker, San’nas etc all on stage.

Angelica D’Souza has done pretty well as a wife in the main role.

Besides, Shirish Naik (as husband), Sherlynne d’ Silva (Daughter), Franklin Pereira (boyfriend), Shalima d’Costa (friend’s wife) and Mithun Mahambrey (friend) also done well.

Comedy was handled by Dionizio Mendes and Miss Uvenda Fernandes. Both can be fine comedians if further fine tuned.

Coming to the songs, there were about 10 songs and all delivered well and to the satisfaction of the houseful audience.

My favourite songs/singers were the two by Antonette Pereira (including opening Chorus) very thoughtful and meaningful, Awakening call given by Roselle Almeida in her song Utt Goemkara Utt, and Mapxemchim Nustekaram by young Roslyn Fernandes and Froila Rodrigues. Amongst the duet singers, I like Arcanjela Vaz with Anthony Vaz. Anthony D’Souza (alias Tony de Pomburpa - I found out this on FB Tiatrist- fan group) also sang well. http://www.facebook.com/groups/116242025069015/

There was a band of 8/9 members headed by Ashley Fernandes (b/o Gemma Fernandes, who we miss this year’s Tiatr competition but actively watching the tiatr happenings on the net from UK). The band even had two violinists. Their playing ‘tocad’ tracks added to the video clip during photo slide show in the end.

There come a barako (song by 12 singers) ‘sobit amchem Goa’ reminds me of an old saying ‘Old wine in new bottle’. This is beautiful song but ruined either by the organisers or director or Kala Academy. The first part, there was a sound problem (young singers were not aligned properly to the mic) something should have sorted out beforehand or even during the performance.

Then again, the depiction of Tintto on stage, the fisherman or fish vendors were seated at the outskirt of the stage, in the dark and were not visible at all.

Again, some part of the beautiful flower festival on stage was not properly lit including area where the 3 musicians were standing etc

As said, this was the first houseful show of the season with about 450 tickets bought in bulk by the villagers/organisers on the very first day of the ticket sale. It had full support from the villagers, at least 5 hired buses spotted.

Finally, I must congratulate the organisers or the villagers for putting together the lovely show on stage through their collective efforts and hard work.

A fine example of village unity.

As or me, the popular Tiatr festival is more of a ‘talent show’ than a competition.

37th Tiatr Comp. GHOR GHOVACHEM MONDIR DEVACHEM

Ploy: Younger brother Steyn brings home his girlfriend Sequela to seek job as domestic help.

She gets the job in the Lacerda family, thanks to Steyn’s elder brother Kevin’s generosity.

Sequela now having secret affair with Kevin, who is happily married to Venus.

Venus caught them once in the garden and warns Sequela to stay away from her husband.

Love is blind, things gone too far with this illicit affair. Venus catches them once again. This time red handed in their own bedroom. Sequela now sent home never to return back.

Sequela won’t give up that easily, she now files a police complaint accusing Kevin of raping her.

For Sequela, things now have turned from bad to worse after realising she made a mistake and lost her boyfriend Steyn, she now commits suicide but saved by timely medical help.

As Venus, will you ever forgive Sequela??

Sequela is now back with Steyn and the Lacerda family.

‘forgive and forget’ is the message we got from the Tiatr GHOR GHOVACHEM MONDIR DEVACHEM

By Kissan Naik see pic in the end (Utsav Samiti, Chinchinim, Goa).

This was the 4 entry in the ongoing 37^th Tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy of Goa and supported by Tiatr Academy (TAG). Staged on 14^th Sept. 2011.
Today's tiatr open at the hands of Satish Gauns of KA.

The tiatr is well rehearsed or homework well done.

There were no FLs, FDs, OB/OVs. Everything gone smooth, lot of hardwork.

Father, sons, daughter in law, girlfriend and her brother, role well played by Arthur Viegas, Joel Rodrigues, Anyv Fernandes, Evon Fernandes, Sonia Diniz, Jose Fernandes respectively.

Comedy was also from never seen before artistes, done pretty well particularly Mr. Agnelo Rebello (as Rock Xavier) who sounded or reminded me of Hindi/Marathi film comedian late Laxmikant Berde. The PC or havaldar too did well with his Marathi talk (Sardon Baretto) and the doctor (Ashok Raut ?) and his sister Perpet (Irene Fernandes) as nurse. I like the birthday song singing comedy where the Hawaldar also sings in Marathi (included in the clip)

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

Besides, some of above singers, there were others like Tony Lacerda, Steffny Pereira, Braganza Pereira etc

One song sang by Tony on Tiatrists received the most applause (shown in the separate clip).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JidIwbfQL7E

Incidentally, Prince Jacob was there throughout the show.

Band too was good with good background music etc.
opening 'tocad' is added to the clip at the end with onscreen display of band members names.

Despite cutting short of one song, the tiatr appears to have overun by atleast 10 minutes.

Also, there was no Chouko or Quartet song (whether is a must or not, I am not too sure about it).

37th tiatr Competition - TOCH PAUS

When one finds out from his doctor that he is dying soon, what choice does he have now?

1. Keep the secret to himself and enjoy the remaining part of his life to the fullest

2. Tell everyone about it and expect pity or a ‘sorry’ look from friends and family etc

3. Remain indoors or Commit suicide

This aged father chosen No. 1 as above - to live and enjoy remaining days of his life the way he always wanted, a rather unusual way – Going back to the past or go back to his childhood (for he lost his own due to poverty).

Fun, pranks etc did not go well with the family. In fact, this is the perfect opportunity or an excuse to the daughter-in-law to send him to an old age home, she even frames him for something (another prank) he never did.

‘Aged parents, treat them with care’ was the message this tiatr tries to give us all.

Tiatr ‘TOUCH PAUS’ written by Cyril Almeida

(United Dramatic Association, Carambolim, Goa)

Was the third entry in the ongoing 37^th Tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy of Goa and supported by Tiatr Academy of Goa (TAG). Staged on 13^th Sept. 2011

Today's tiatr opened at the hands of Cezer D'Mello (MIL-MEL-NEL)

It’s an unusual presentation with clear message.

The role of grandfather, father and mother well played by Giri Zalmi, Shubert Rodrigues and Annie Fernandes.

It had about 13 songs including solos, duets, duo, trio and quartet.

Opening chorus by playwright Cyril Almeida was meaningful and well sung. Beside, his daughter Claniffa, Robert de Calvim, Annie, Seby, Agusto de Calangute etc also sung well.
Seby's song indian gantti watch below -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=md0YsfWNiuc

Child artistes too did well but most needed more practice and guidance as there were several FLs and OB/OVs
Child singers were - Alina, Juenila, Sweden Pedroso, Salu Santos,
Roy Mendonca, Sybil Fernandes, Claniffa, Clarissa etc

Other supporting actors were Clarrisa Almeida (grand daugter), Vinod Khumbharjuemkar (Cook/Comedian), Alton D’Souza, Nitin Veluskar as drunkard done very well and Inez Fernades etc

Band by Agnelo and Zakarias Lobo etc. Their entire opening ‘tocado’ is added to the video clip

37th Tiatr Competition - EKSURO

Tiatr EKSURO

By Jack de Vasco

(Domrine Social, Cultural & Sports Club. Vasco)

Was the second (of the 30) in the ongoing 37^th Tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy of Goa. (Support by Tiatr Academy, TAG). Staged on 12^th Sept. 2011.

This tiatr talks about mining problems.

The Illegal mining activities in Goa with the blessing of politicians.

Minister tries to buy the activists and their supporters..

‘Soon, you will be on your own’ is the message this tiatr tries to give to corrupt politicians.

It had about 10 songs. Most songs sung by the drama actors (main play) themselves such as Feliciana, Nicolas, Francis, Gloria, Cristo etc. Besides, there were other singers, Blancy, Shanice, Franky, Savia and the playright Jack de Vasco (Joaquim Fernandes).

‘Goemkar’ a song sung by Gloria Ferrao was the best so far.

Comedy role also supported by Wilson Vaz, Casmir D’Souza.

Other actors are Eva Correia, Celistin Fernandes (Marcel) etc.

Tiatr was good with good message but looks like it needed more practice or rehearsals as there were several FDs , FLs, OB/OVs*

Also, don’t remember watching ‘Chouko’ or quartet which, I believe, is a must in the competition.

Today’s tiatr opened at the hands of Timotio Fernandes, ex KA

37th Tiatr Competition - DAIZ

Video

This tiatr talks about the nature and our heritage.
It tries to put in sense into the present day generation particularly the youth.
It warns about the environmental impact that it will have if no proper steps taken to protect and conserve the limited natural resources.
‘Save our heritage /nature for future generations’ was the message this tiatr tries to give. Written by Agnelo de Borim and directed by Avinash Chari.

This was the opening tiatr of the 37th Tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy. Supported by Tiatr Acadmy of Goa (TAG). Staged on 9th Sept. 2011. The festival was thrown open at the hands of well known tiatr personality
Shri Prince Jacob.
Tiatr had about 12 songs sung by Ivy, Suzeta, Mario, Francis, Nazario, Bernard, Celia, Pobre, Hortencio, Conceicao etc.
Bernard Noronha and Suzeta Pereira sang a beautiful love song which deserves full marks. It really took me back to my past
Other well sung songs are by Nazario Pinto, Ivy Albuqure as ‘Maso kan’ etc.
Hortencio Comedy well received by the audience.
Rupesh Jogle at his best as usual so also Nazario Pinto’s neagative role which reminded me of a bollywood villain with black spot on his face.

Following are some of the stage pics
