TIATRO “HANV KHUXEAL ASAM”.
Godwin, Anil & Olga In Opening Song
Written and directed by Mariano Fernandes, yesterday at Kala Academy Panjim, at 3.30 PM, I saw the Tiatro “HANV KHUXEAL ASAM”, attended by the capacity crowd. This is the first time I saw Mariano Fernandes’ Tiatro though earlier from Kuwait I heard and read a lot of him that his Tiatros are creating a lot of ripples in Goa. Incidentally after seeing this Tiatro I came to know that he is my “ghanv – Bhav” from Candolim and the son of my friend and also the nephew of once well known Tiatrist the late Greg de Candolim.
A scene where Maggy is seen at the Centre
Since this Tiatro is going to be staged again in Panjim twice in this same month and elsewhere as well in Goa, I only give the gist of the Play. It is surrounded on the family story where the sons think only of their selfish interest by discarding the sacrifices of their father. The ending part of the Play is very interesting where the audience were kept gasping for breath knowing not what would be the actual end.
A scene where Anil Pednekar at his best
All the artistes played their roles well even those whom I see for the first time but more credit should go to Anil Pednekar for playing a magnificent character role of an insane scientist expressing his statements in a witty and also in a philosophical manner. Example, to quote him “In Panjim, no more Door Locks are available because they are all purchased by the Goan residents from Acacaim and ambient villages since all these Goan residents, holders of Portuguese Passports left from Goa by locking their houses and thus all the Door Locks from Panjim Market got exhausted”.
Maggy & colleagues seen singing a Trio
Fittingly, Anil was felicitated during the interval for playing his wonderful role in this Tiatro. Mario de Vasco played his fatherly role very appropriately, so too Godwin, Olga as a Westerner, Carmeen and Maggy.
One of the scenes.
Comedy part was nicely handled by the two brothers namely Domnick and Bachan who were ably supported by Mathew who being a new to me showed lot of encouragement. So the two girls in supporting them, one of them was Flavia.
Maggy & Mini Mario singing a duet.
In the Side Show songs though there was little deficiency yet the singers did justice to their roles in which Domnick and his other two partners rendered a nice political Trio, so too Godwin and his other two colleagues. Anil and Olga’s Duet on political theme was excellent. The solo rendered by Olga on misdeeds of politicians was very bold and the comedy solo rendered by Mathew was good. Mini Mario's solo was worth admiring, so too his duet with attractive Maggy.
It is worth seeing this Tiatro.
Congratulations to Mariano Fernandes and his troupe.
