TIATRO “AMKAM KITEAK PODDLAM” written and directed by the well-known director Mario Menezes was staged on 25th of this month in Candolim at Church School compound starting at 8.10 PM though it was scheduled at 7.30 PM.

Duo of Mario Menezes & Cruz During this period three Tiatros were staged from 23rd to 25th but among all, as per the audience assessment Mario’s Tiatro “Amkam Kiteak Poddlam” was better than the others. The story of this Tiatro is beautifully displayed around a young College going girl (Semenca) who was raped in her own house by the rowdy son (Franky) of the local MLA (Mario Menezes). When this happened, everybody refrained from supporting her giving an impression that “Amkam Kiteak Poddlam”.  A scene: Rosy Alvares-Semenca-Cruz The central idea of Islam is Justice for this reason Muslims always join together to fight for justice when injustice is done to them. Once when Prophet Mohammed was asked “When there will be justice in this world”, replied Prophet thus “When every one of us will gather courage to fight against the injustice committed on to others as if that injustice is committed on to us only, then ONLY there will be justice in this world”.  Solo: Lawry Travasso What is shown in this Tiatro by Mario Menezes very intellectually befitting his high educational background is not fiction but reality that is happening in our society now. “Raza Podon mhontlear Mort marinae” goes one Konkani saying. Since my father is a Minister or MLA can I take law into my own hands and do whatever I want? This is the trend going on now from the time of Sanjay Gandhi the younger son of Indira Gandhi and this same trend is nicely followed even in Goa by some of the disgraceful sons and daughters of our disgraceful Ministers and MLA’s. There should be concerted efforts by all the justice seeker Goans to fight against the injustice prevailing in our midst.  One more scene. Franky seen in the centre. In the Side Show songs, though it was good but especial mention must go to Lawry Travasso’s solo, Mario Menezes duo with his partner, Semenca’s solo and opening solo of Rosy Alvares which she rendered very well, both the Trios of Mario Menezes along with Tony de Ribandar and Peter de Arambol, Joana’s comedy solo and Semenca’s duet with Peter de Arambol.  Trio: Tony de Ribandar-Mario-Peter de Arambol Musical score was nicely provided by Dexter and his troupe. Well done Bab Mario Menezes and your troupe.  Solo: Semenca. A.
