On Wednesday, 8th of this month in Panjim at Kala Academy Hall, I saw the new Tiatro “KAXANVKAR” written and directed by Prince Jacob, starting at 7.35 PM. It was well attended by the crowd though some empty Chairs were visible
Annie Quadros on her solo.
Though the story is very simple and to pen down it one does not require high MinguelRodian caliber yet it was very meaningful and to make it so, surely one requires PremKumarian skill in projecting it and in directing it. And just because Prince Jacob has these qualities he made this Tiatro very interesting where he gives total adoration for traditional and ancestral home business which he stresses the present generation must follow. How this is brought into reality one can see by watching this Tiatro “KAXANVKAR”.
Valency in romantic scene
The young girl from Calangute Miss Valency stole more show by displaying her real qualities of a young and matured artiste. Her dress code was excellently attractive, delivery was very clear and singing was good. Jose’s role of a brother was very good as usual and Edel was on top of the Ladder in his role of a boyfriend/fiancé of Valency. It was a very attractive and romantic pair.
One more scene
However, the major credit for the success of this Tiatro goes to veteran but still youthful and attractive Annie Quadros who this time played the role of a mother. In this role to make it very appropriate, she displayed all the required qualities very meticulously. As usual, both the comedian brothers Prince Jacob and Humbert shouldered the responsibility of performing comedy roles, of course to the satisfaction of the audience.
Cajetan de Curtorim on his solo
In the side show songs though there was no strong push to rise to the expected level yet every singer made an attempt to impress upon the audience but Cajetan de Curtorim, Annie Quadros, Ignatius de Xelvonn, Prince Jacob & Humbert and Valency each put an extra effort to satisfy the audience.
Yet another scene: Valency in Center.
As a whole, the audience liked this Tiatro and Prince Jacob as usual succeeded in giving something new to the audience for which I applaud Prince Jacob and his troupe.
