Dear Goa-Netter's, I am assisting the Pilar Fathers 'Francis, a man in a hurry'. I went today to see it. Despite the constraints faced, it has come out really good beside the fact that it has been produced on a shoestring budget. I have been promoting it on Good Morning Lord which now has crossed 200,000 listeners. Its a play you all must see. The English shows are at 4:00pm daily till Sunday (Hindi daily at 2:00pm). As its free & the seating is 'first come first serve', its better to go with a pass in hand than to get one at the gate. Regards to all, Boni (Boromor J. Dias) Founder Faith Works! - Producer & Sponsor of GooooooooooooD Morning Lord) PS: see details of the play below. Tell your friends too about it & on the last line is locations where the passes can be collected. Francis, a man in a hurry (A musical - dance - drama on the occasion of the Exposition of the sacred relics of St. Francis Xavier) On the occasion the Exposition of the relics of St. Francis Xavier, the Society of Pilar will present 'Francis a man in a hurry' a dance drama at the Pastoral Institute, Old Goa starting from 22nd November to 28th November. The show which will be presented in English and Hindi is intended to help pilgrims reflect on the life of St. Francis Xavier. 'FRANCIS, A MAN IN A HURRY' looks at Francis' life as that of any young modern man in a competitive world who was in a hurry to conquer the world's honor and fame. A subtle challenge to his mundane aspirations from Ignatius Loyola rattled his paradigms and set him on a pilgrimage to meet the divine within the inner most depths of his being. This inner pilgrimage turned his world upside down. However he continued being a man in a hurry. Except that this time his great hurry is chanelised to win the world for God. The entire drama is well corroborated by reflective dances and thoughtful music. It calls the youth to draw inspiration and conviction while they attend to their day to day chores. The Hindi version is called Francis; Shigratha mein ek manushya. This will be performed by a special cast from Delhi and Jharkhand, while the English version has a young and promising set of student actors from Goa. Conceived and written by Fr. Allan Tavares, the music is set by Fr. Nixon D'Silva and the directed by Fr. Domnic Alvares. The Hindi show will be held at 2 pm and the English show will commence at 4 pm. The Dance Drama is a production of the Society of the Missionaries of St. Francis Xavier, popularly known as the Society of Pilar, an indigenous Missionary Society based in Pilar, Goa. The Society of Pilar which has its branches spread in the rural places of India, has St. Francis Xavier as its heavenly Patron and draws inspiration from his life in reference to its mission of spreading love, peace and justice. Limited seats. Complementary entry passes are available at Re-animation Centre, Pilar; Pilar Office Panaji, Pilar Deepti Sadan, Porvorim, Grace Church, Margao
