Seen Director Domnick singing his solo.
Yesterday, in Panjim, at Kala Academy Hall, at 7.45 PM I saw a nice Tiatro “MAIM PAI TIM MAIM PAI” scripted an directed by Kuwait based Domnick Fernandes. Working in Kuwait for the last so many years, Domnick is very active in Kuwait among Goans especially in the Church activities. He is also involved in the cause of promotion of Konkani. During his vacation in Goa now since mid Decembeber, he has done 25 Shows of this Tiatro which is a very good record to establish by any expatriate Goan Tiatrist. A “ghaum – bhau” of the late M. Boyer from Raia Salcette, Domnick’s forte lies in scripting good Tiatros and compose and render songs which are also recorded in his own CD’s/DVD’s.

Seen singing a song
In this Tiatro he depicts the real picture of the fate of many of our Goans working there in Kuwait and finally what is their end in Goa inspite of doing so much for their children. Do our children realize this? The major part of this Tiatro was shouldered by Mario de Vasco and Ivon as husband and wife working in Kuwait. Mario with perfect clarity and high pitch voice, does justice to his role while attractive Ivon with her majestic personality and romantic voice gives an extra booster to this play. Both she and Mario played a real sorrowful scene in the ending part of the play. Her last Canto was very touching and she rendered it very sorrowfully too.

The others who deserve especial mention for doing his role well was seasoned and veteran artiste Anthony San as a “Bom Samaratan”, always ready to assist the distressed.
Seen singing a trio
The comedy part was beautifully handled by all the new comedians, at least to my eyes they are new faces but they did their roles as seasoned. They all have a very good good scope for them on Konkani Stage.
Seen singing a duet
Another scene
In the Side Show Songs, every singer deserves compliments because every song is meaningful and carried some message though they all were rendered not by the top professionals. If this part was entrusted with some top names, the rating of this Tiatro would still go high because the story is very good and it was enacted very well by all the artistes who surely deserve highest compliments.
A romantic scene:Mario/Ivon
A scene where all the three comedians seen
Director Domnick’s one of the solos “Tiatrist” was very beautiful in the sense he tells how Tiatro was misused by the later generation Tiatrists after its origin. Anthony San’s both the solos were good, so too of Marcus Vas and his duet. There was not a single vulgarity in this Tiatro because of this, this Tiatro got more booster. Neither there was any “Pozddo” comedian to use Pozddi comedy.
