With the induction of 14 artistes, as per my information, the well-known writer and director Milagres de Chandor staged his well spoken by the audience Tiatro “ATM” at Kala Academy on last Sunday 31.07.16. The Tiatro supposed to start at 7.45 PM instead it started late at 8.10 PM thus putting the audience into unnecessary inconvenience though the director apologized to the audience but it was of no use. The delay in arriving the artistes is not the look out of the audience, it is the business of the director to be prompt on his timing thus avoiding detaining the audience in the hall with no fault of theirs. It was not a F.O.C. Tiatro.
The best part of this Tiatro was the monologue type of address by the director to the young audience thru which he advised them not to commit wrong acts for matters which can be controlled. It was a beautiful and educative advice of which type our priests and clergy should impart from the Altar and if they had to do this many of evil deeds like Suicides, committed by our youth out of frustration would have been avoided. Kudos to Milagres de Chandor.
The story of the play was according to my information is based on genuine incident happened in Salcette Goa. Antonette de Maina played her role very well thus stealing the Show. Willy and Pascoal Rodrigues also played their roles well while others left no stone unturned to make this Tiatro attractive and interesting.
Commedy part was no doubt good but some vulgarity in words and in action was not palatable.
The Side Show songs were not up to the mark with the exception of a few songs one of them was a solo by Pascoal Rodrigues and the other a solo of Antonette de Maina.
