TIATRO "KOR MHOJEM KALLIZ TUJEA KALLZA SARKEM"
writer & director Willy Silveira
On Thursday, 22ndof this month at Kala Academy Hall, Panjim, I saw the above named Tiatro starting at 7.45pm and was attended by a good number of attendees. The Tiatro which is meant for Lenten period is very well scripted by the handsome young director Willy Silveira and staged it very successfully. Since this Tiatro is based on Christian doctrine where some of the Biblical quotations are quoted, I think its effect on the minds of the people will be more than what our priests can produce from the Church.

Earlier, J.P.Souzalin was the prominent director to stage in Lenten seasons his Tiatros based on religion and thru which he propagated and spread the doctrine of Christians more than what our Church could do. Following him, came others too namely Prem Kumar and Manuel de Lima.

This Tiatro of Willy Silveira must be brought to the notice of more and more Christians especially the Catholics who lack the Biblical knowledge. The Church authorities in Goa must make it easy for Willy Silveira to stage this Tiatro in every village with the assistance of local Pe. Vigars. This is the good chance for the locals to mingle with the common folks just as Jesus Christ mingled and displayed his egalitarian sense. Besides, the central idea of this Tiatro is ’Forgiveness”. Souzalin used to beautify such Lenten Tiatros by introducing in such Lenten Tiatros the music of best of sorrowful Motets. Willy also could have done this.
The youngster on her solo
The roles played by both Juju and Chitra as husband and wife were excellent, especially Chitra whose majestic personality with her magnificent dresses befitting her elite status brought an extra colour to this Tiatro. Even she sang so beautifully. She was the centre of ATTRACTION. The role of Juju was also wonderful so also the roles played by the young SCHOOL going girl and her boyfriend Merwin, the girl looked and sounded smarter. Child is the father of a man, said Worsworth, based on this, I can rightly say this young girl will be somebody at the later stage on Konkani Stage. The roles played by Pascoal Rodrigues as the father of the boy is flawless and perfect as usual. The director deserves compliments for selecting the appropriate artistes suitable for their respective roles.
A Court scene
The comedy was performed by Comedians Agustinho Temudo, Humbert and the new girl who performed well.

Singing their song
In the Side Show songs, the solos rendered by the director of this Tiatro Willy Silveira, Mini Mario, Pascoal Rodrigues, Benny de Aldona, Cajetan de Curtorim and the wonderful political solo by Saby de Divar were worth admiring. The songs rendered by Benny de Aldona along with Cajetan de Curtorim and both the young girls were good while the trio rendered by Willy Silveira- Chitra – Juju was wonderful not only in the words but more because it was rendered by Chitra beautifully with her mellifluent voice.
