NEW TIATRO "HO UZO PALOUNK ZATA" BY TRAGEDY KING MARIO MENEZES

On 24th of this month, Sunday, at 3.45 PM, I saw the new Tiatro “Ho Uzo Palounk Zata” written and directed by Mario Menezes, this was his 52nd Tiatro. Though the Tiatro was good and staged well yet and sadly it was poorly attended by the audience, however not as poorly as that on the previous day at the same venue and because of this that Tiatro on that day i.e. previous day Tiatro was cancelled. At least Mario Menezes Tiatro was attended by about 50% of the attendees but another Tiatro of another director at the same venue at 7.30 PM had hardly 50 members of the audience and despite this fact the director volunteered to go ahead with perfroming this Tiatro.

Was it a wake up call or it was the time of punishment for the Tiatrists who are promoting the vulgarity in the Tiatros? “Punishment comes lame footed” and according to the realities appearing now the audience has started to boycott the Tiatros. There is a proverb in our Konkani saying “Devachea Marank Avaz Na”. There is not a single Tiatrist in our Konkani Stage who opposed the vulgarity fereciously, openly and loudly. They are part of the blame for the people to boycott the Tiatros as it already happened. The so called powerful Tiatrists carry the blame for not only not opposing the vulgarity in their Tiatros performed by the vulgar comedians in their comedy roles but more than that they are guilty of keeping their silence on these vulgarity and because some of them are in favour of vulgarity and sinful life they are leading the vulgar life living with "Cheddio". Many of the seniors and prominents are the first to be blamed for this sinful vulgarity performed mainly by some of the sinful vulgar Comedians. Because of this fault of the few the punishment came on the all. The saying in Konkani goes thus: "Eka Patkeak lagon Devan Tarum Buddoilem". There is no cure for these rascal vulgar Titrist, they dont understand decent language and they dont even recognise the God's punishment. Hence, death is the result of those who are adamant to leave sin of vulgarity. Hence, it is my request to those who are promoting the sinful vulgarity from the Stage for God's sake please put an end to this sin so that you live longer with the blessings of God. If you defy God and society then you will suffer worst punsihment. It is not my wish to see you face worst punishment, I have seen gigantic Tiatrists with himalayan brain using the Stage for promoting their personal topics of defaming othrs, they finally collapsed like a packn of cards and what is the calibre of the few "kalche Porche Potte" who think they have devine right to do anything from the Stage. It is a p[ity that they re sad;ly mistaken and I see nothing but disaster for them which is coming very fast.

Mario Menezes in this Tiatro does a very good deed of introducing some new faces who did perform well in singing songs as well as in the performance of the play. With little more guidance from the seniors they will surely fill the vacuum created by some who have already left Goa for greener pastures.
Seen Singing a nice quarter

The central idea of this tiatro as it was given in figurative sense Ho Uzo Palounk Zata is the disputes arising between Mothers-In-Law and Daughters – in – law as it is happening most of the times among our families. All the artistes played their roles well but Rosy Alvares deserves better marks for her role of mother-in-law and the role played of the daughter-in-law by Sanaya was excellent. Both the comedians Baldwin and Elisa performed well their comedy roles.

The side – show songs were good but did not reach to its peak and since many of the singers being new faces it will take time for them to create an acceptance by the audience and secondly they will have to indicate their best of talents in composing and singing best songs. However, the solo of Rosy Alvares was rendered very well with her melodious voice so too both the comedy solos rendered by Baldwin with one encore and by Sanaya with 3 encores were excellent, the latter imitated the late William de Curtorim. The solo rendered by Pierson was worth admiring so too of Mini Mario and the political trio rendered by Mario Menezes-Mini Mario-Tony de Ribandar was excellent.
