NEW TIATRO 'TEMPA PORMONNE' BY ROSEFERNS.
On 21st of this month, Sunday, starting exactly at the scheduled time 3.30 PM, at Kala Academy in Panjim, I saw the first Show of the new Tiatro “TEMPA PORMONNE” written and directed by the King of Centuries, the renowned playwright Rose Ferns, this was his 95th production. This Tiatro was attended by the capacity of attendees came from Panjim and other surrounding areas and many of them as per my information went home satisfied.

JOLRITA & AGEMA SINGS THEIR SONG
To cut short since this Tiatro is to be staged all over Goa and Mumbai and may be elsewhere as it is happening now very often since there are more Tiatro fans also in the Gulf and UK, the story is based on family life where to support and to satisfy the needs of his younger brother (role played by Eddie) Roseferns (as his elder brother though mentally not fully sound) goes to any extent, even he gives his new born son to the rich man (Michael De Silva) in exchange of some lakhs of rupees to be utilized for the sickness of his younger brother. The role played by Eddie was appropriate and that of his wife by Antonette de Maina was excellent. Mario Menezes played his role well of a Businessman.

In this horrible and rather difficult deal, the elder brother’s wife Annie Quadros brings tears into the eyes of the audience simultaneously bringing tears also into her eyes. The most pathetic occasion was when she hands over the baby to Michael De Silva (the rich man). Then lot of ups and downs are seen happening all because of money and finally they all come together by accepting the fact that we must act according to “TEMPA PORMONNE”.
Comedy part. Seen in the middle is Agostinho
Another scene: Scene are Roseferns-Selvy-Antonette-Eddie
Yet another scene where Eddie & Antonette de Maina seen
The role played by Annie Quadros was superb in all respects, even her dress code was appropriate befitting the scenes, her delivery of every word was clear and flawless and in one word I can rightly say that she stole the Show. Even the Cantos she rendered were of high quality with respect to lyrics and delivery.
One more scene: Scene are Roseferns &Annie Quadros
A comedy scene: Neto & Dorothy
The comedy part was well played by Comedian Agostinho, Selvy, Neto, Dorothy and it was well accepted by the audience.
Benny de Aldona sings his solo
Jolita and Saby de Divar sings their duet
One of the penultimate scenes
Though the Side Show songs were good yet there was still a room for improvement, there were no “Pezad” songs yet Saby de Divar with his solo and a duet with Jorlita –both political – quenched the thirst of the audience, so also Benny de Aldona, Rosario de Benaulim and others. The title song rendered by Jolrita and Ageema was very well rendered, so also the solo of Jolrita.
The penultimate scene
Last scene: Michael-Jason-Annie-Roseferns-Eddie-Antonette
As a whole the Tiatro is worth watching. Well done Roseferns and his troupe.
