On 18th of this month, on Sunday at 10.30 AM, I saw the new Tatro ‘XIM” written and directed by the Queen of Political Songs, Bai Olga who is having an unique record of being the first female Tiarist in the history of Tiatro to sing such powerful and piercing political songs against the dirty and corrupt politicians.
Bai Olga singing her political solo
Because of the strong message she delivers in her songs, she is become the darling of the audience, not only among Goans in Goa but also all over the Goan world. She is not only attracting the attention of the audience thru her beautiful looks but more thru the powerful contents of her songs which she delivers with all her dislikes and hatred for the corrupt practices of the politicians. The messages she and other political Tiatrists convey thru their songs are rightly and directly reaching to the ears of corrupt politicians who are afraid only of Tiatrists.
Youngster Jason sings his solo
After undergoing her internship in Tiatro by doing different roles and singing her political solos, she is now graduated on Konkani Stage as script writer and director in which capacity she staged her first Tiatro “XIM” which was so successful and so well staged and well organized giving a touch of top professional director though this was her first Tiatro. The future for her is bright in this capacity. The Houseful attendees attended this Tiatro speak volumes of this Tiatro. Since it is going to be staged everywhere in Goa and abroad, I desist to disclose the full story of this Tiatro.
A scene where seen are anil-janice -Morjims
The Tiatro XIM started at 10.35 with a beautiful opening solo by a young boy Jason who sang it very beautifully. The story is surrounded on a young man a drunkard who spoils the whole peace in the family, this role is beautifully played by Anil Pednecar thereby proving how perfectionist is he when performing his given roles. However the musical feeling played during the play was a bit louder, that has to be volumed a bit low.
COMEDIAN Prince Jacob
The role of a father of Anil was excellently played by Alexinho de Morjim, he proved how best and top he is in doing such roles so perfectly and so well while opposite to him as his wife Lorna de Morjim played an excellent role, of course as usual and as their young grand son the role played by Frenwiech was fantastic. At this so young age this youngster showing so much of intelligence in doing his role so intelligently means something. Young BAB LIPO in 1957 displayed similar smartness in DOIA Tiatro of Aristedes Dias. The role played by Jenice as an obedient daughter-in-law was equally wonderful. The whole tiatro is surrounded around them and they all did justice to their performances thereby raising the level of this tiatro very high.
Saby de Divar on his political solo
The fabulous comedy performed by all the 4 fabulous comedians namely Prince Jacob, John de Silva, Luis Bac’chan and Humbert was excellent. It was a feast of comedy where all the four ace comedians did their best to quench the thirst of the audience. However, if a female comedian was inducted in the comedy it would be still better.
Duet of Lorna & Alexinho de MorJim
The Side Show songs were terrific in which both the political solos of writer and director of this Tiatro Bai Olga were excellent, so also of Saby de Divar and the political trio rendered by Anil Pednecar-Bai Olga – Saby de Divar was the best among all the political songs rendered in this Tiatro. Anil Pednecar’s solo on the miracle happened in his life and thru which he was saved from sure death was meaningful.
The solo rendered by Rosario de Benaulim on richness of God was nice so also the duet on Blind by Saby de Divar and Olga. And the duet rendered both by Lorna de Morjim and her husband Alexiho de Morjim was very good. The comedy solo rendered by young boy Frauwies was excellent so also the trio by Prince Jacob-Humbert –Anil Pednecar was worth listening.
