It gives the Executive committee great pleasure and satisfaction to see Goans and Manglorians from all over Germany to come in support of Konkani and Goa . Our next function ( Christmas party) will be held on 29 of November, Kind regards Vito Oliveira NATTOK’ mesmerizes Frankfurt ============================== John D’Silva and his troupe, after making a premiere in London, landed in Frankfurt to put up his show in his brand new drama ‚ NATTOK’. The hall was packed to capacity with people coming from far away places and John did not disappoint anybody. With a very entertaining, enthralling, emotional and lively story, backed-up by some very meaningful and melodious songs, the drama got going. But the highlight was the comedy. With John and Michael blossoming into a right comedy-duo, it was laughter-galore. If you believe in the saying ‘laughter is the best medicine’ then NATTOK is where its all about. One could actually see tears in the eyes from the audience because of the comedy. Everybody had words of praises for the actors and were rather disappointed that it had to come to an end. Never the less they left very satisfied. All this was due to the hard work of the president of the Goan Association Germany, The GAG who went to a lot of hardships to make this a reality. Mr. Francis D’silva from KDA-London played an important role in this too. He was very well backed by Jerome Simoes and the rest of the committee. A big thanks to Chico Fernandes (Merces) , Matano Gracias ( Mandur), PeterFernandes (Ambora) Agapito Cruz(Merces) and Mariano Pereira (Majorda) for all their support in cash and kind. John D’Silva commended the organizers and presented a small gift to them. So too the organizing committee, handed to every artist a gift and a certificate of appreciation. The President of GAG Vito Oliveira proposed the vote of thanks. Comments: I almost got choked with laughter. – AN Lovely story, no time waste, good songs & unending comedy- VO A right dose of medicine for the full family – JS If you skip this Tiatr then you’ve missed something in life.
