*Tiatr Needs National Recognition – Shri. Vijay Kenkre*
* *
“If tiatr artistes wish to create a niche for themselves in the field of
tiatr, they will have to drift away from the conventional formula and
present something which is different from others on the tiatr stage” said
Mr. Vijay Kenkre, a renowned theatre personality. He was delivering a
lecture on “New Trends in Modern Theatre” on the occasion of birth
anniversary of the creator of tiatr, Shri. Lucasinho Ribeiro, at the Black
Box, Kala Academy, Panjim on 2nd January 2011.
Dwelling minutely on different theatres, such as Indian theatre, European
theatre, American theatre, etc, Shri. Kenkre placed before the tiatr
artistes numerous unusual happenings that have taken place in the recent
past in the theatre. “Modern theatre is over 150 years old and hence many
dramatic analysts refer todays theatre as post modern and sometimes
post-post modern” disclosed Shri. Kenkre. Speaking further Shri. Kenkre
said, for example in the Marathi drama, the spoken word has been replaced by
the visuals. He also said that a play is not mere entertainment but it also
makes people realize that there is more to it. The combination of language
and visuals makes any presentation perfect.
Speaking further he said that in this 21st century the drama is going to
experience new trends as the writers as well as directors of today are
engrossed with innovations and inclined to place before the audience
something that is always not conventional. Although there is risk in such
attempts, particularly in the commercial drama, very few commercial artistes
takes such risks. That vacuum is filled by parallel drama which is presented
by amateurs and artistes interested in doing things differently on the drama
stage.
He said that tiatr in Goa has wide following and hence it is commercially
viable. He advised the tiatr artistes to bring out literature about tiatr
and see that it reaches to the government authorities not only in the state
but at the national level. Such attempts will definitely help Goan tiatr to
get recognition at the national level.
Numerous tiatr artistes namely Anil Kumar, Joe Rose, Mario Menezes, Cosme
Fernandes, etc posed numerous questions to which Shri. Kenkre replied
satisfactorily.
Earlier President of TAG, Shri. Tomazinho Cardozo welcomed. Dr. Ajay Vaidya
introduced the speaker and later Shri. Roseferns, Vice-President of TAG
proposed a vote of thanks. Shri. Joy Fernandes compered the function.
