37th tiatr Competition: GHOR GHOVACHEM MONDIR DEVACHEM Ploy: Younger brother Steyn brings home his girlfriend Sequela to seek job as domestic help. She gets the job in the Lacereda’s family, thanks to Steyn’s elder brother Kevin’s generosity. Sequela now having secret affair with Kevin, who is happily married to Venus. Venus caught them once in the garden and warns Sequela to stay away from her husband. Love is blind, things gone too far with this illicit affair. Venus catches them once again. This time red handed in their own bedroom. Sequela now sent home never to return back. Sequela won’t give up that easily, she now files a police complaint accusing Kevin of raping her. For Sequela, things now have turned from bad to worse after realising she made a mistake and lost her boyfriend Steyn, she now commits suicide but saved by timely medical help. As Venus, will you ever forgive Sequela?? Sequela is now back with Steyn and the Lacerda family. ‘forgive and forget’ is the message we got from the Tiatr GHOR GHOVACHEM MONDIR DEVACHEM By Kissan Naik (Utsav Samiti, Chinchinim, Goa). This was the 4 entry in the ongoing 37th Tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy of Goa and supported by Tiatr Academy (TAG). Staged on 14th Sept. 2011 The tiatr is well rehearsed or homework well done. There were no FLs, FDs, OB/OVs. Everything gone smooth, lot of hard work.
Father, sons, daughter in law, girlfriend and her brother, role well played by Arthur Viegas, Joel Rodrigues, Anyv Fernandes, Evon Fernandes, Sonia Diniz, Jose Fernandes respectively. Comedy was also from never seen before artistes, done pretty well particularly Mr. Agnelo Rebello (as Rock Xavier) who sounded or reminded me of Hindi/Marathi film comedian late Laxmikant Berde. The PC or havaldar too did well with his Marathi talk (Sardon Baretto) and the doctor (Ashok Raut ?) and his sister Perpet (Irene Fernandes). I like the birthday song singing comedy where the Hawaldar also sings in Marathi (included in the clip) There were about 11 songs all well received by the audience. Besides, some of above singers, there were others like Tony Lacerda, Steffny Pereira, Braganza Pereira etc One song sang by Tony on Tiatrists received the most applause (shown in the separate clip). Incidentally, Prince Jacob was there throughout the show. Despite cutting short of one song, the tiatr appears to have overshot by atleast 10 minutes. Also, there was no Chouko or Quartet song (whether is a must or not, I am not too sure about it).
