NEW TIATRO "MODLI VATT"
BY IRINEU GONNSALVES.
Seen above is Irineu thanking the audience.
The first Show of the new Tiatro “MODLI VATT” written and directed by Irineu Gonsalves was staged today, 11h of this month, at Hanuman Theatre, Mapusa, starting at 4.45 PM and ending at 7.15 PM. Minus the Balcony, the hall was packed to capacity. Based on the last Tiatro of Irineu, I was expecting this Tiatro will be an exceptional but my expectation failed me.

Though the concept of the story is very good as none showed in the past yet it was found wanting in something somewhere. May be because it was the first Show and if it is so then I hope later on it will improve a lot. Side Show songs were not up to the previous level since some of the ace singers who are become darlings of the audience were missing today. Inspite of their photos published in the newspaper and on Tickets, Jessica and Xavier Gomes were absent. Neither the director disclosed the reason of their absence. The musical score provided by Norman Cardoso was producing loud sound thereby preventing the audience from listening to what is rendered by the artistes though the Mike system is very bad in that Hall is the different matter

Comedywise it was not up to the mark though veteran John D’Silva tried to give an extra punch but it was all noisy unnecessarily. The system of shouting loudly by the recent comedians is simply creating nuisance of the Tiatro. The great comedians of yesteryears namely Jacinto Vaz, Anthony Mendes, Kid Boxer and Jepsis Hitler never used to shout to make the audience laugh. Just their presence itself on the Stage was enough for the audience to laugh and enjoy even though they uttered no words from their mouths. That was the greatness of those comedians who were called natural comedians. With their demise the bones of natural comedians were interred in their graves possibly never to reborn again.

“Modli Vatt” as interpreted in this Tiatro is the middle course to decide and settle the contentious issues. And how it was implemented it was nicely shown in this Tiatro. To witness its implementation one has to personally see this Tiatro which is going to be staged all over Goa. Irineu has taken lot of pains to bring this concept live on the Stage and all the artistes participated in enacting this concept deserve compliments mainly Wilson Mazarello, Sharon, Precilla, Sylvester Vaz and others

Some of the Side Show songs that deserve mention are: both the Duets of Wilson Mazarello and Sharon; the Trio of Jr. Sylvester-Asthon-Willy; Solos of Baba Cielo,Marcos Vaz and Ashton.
