37th tiatr Competition 2011 - DESVATT Most parents now a days very busy either making money or into so called social work.
While men are busy after making more and more money the women folks seen busy with social activities including religious - NGOs be it ‘Balancho Awaz’ or ‘Bhailanchi Shokti or ‘Bailanchim Karma’ their dairies are full of appointments. They leave in the morning and come home very late thus give little or no time to their children. All they give to them is the Money (no limit) including latest electronic gadgets like mobile phones, video games. What the children really need from the parents is their time with them which they spend may be rebuilding other people’s broken homes ignoring their own. By the time they realise their mistake, it’s too late as their own homes completely collapsed and beyond any repairs. or visit here the skip the rest and for more updates including the tiatr video clip etc http://joegoauk-konkani-tiatr-vcds-films.blogspot.com/2011/09/37th-tiatr-competition-2011-desvatt.htmlSomething Something like this very beautifully brought out by Peter Vaz in his tiatr ‘DESVATT’ (Taleigao Dramtic Troupe) which was the 9th entry in the ongoing 37th Tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy of Goa and supported by Tiatr Agademy of goa, TAG.Staged on 28th Sept. 2011-09-29. Today’s tiatr was opened at the hands ofDalgado Konknni Academy (DKA) Secretary and a welknown Konkani writer Shri Jose Salvador Fernandes. The tiatr had very strong and much need social message, particularly to parents. Father (Elves Sequeira) being abroad, mother (Carmen Barbosa e sequeira at her best) very busy with her social work. So busy that she does not even remember her teenage son’s birthday. However, there is a party in the house on the same day not a birthday party but to celebrate her promotion in the NGO organisation. Poor son mistook it as his party and even invited his friends.. Son, an introvert, role well played by Jozic D’Silva- Was really so natural, lot of hardwork there His sister was Candida D’Souza who did most of the Cant singing and the one sang at the time of her brother leaving the home to study out of state (much against his wish) was really touching , which brought tears in many eyes (includes our four). For most of us, one thing was so sure – The son will commit suicide in the hostel by hanging which is the No. 1 in Goa at present,followed by Ratol suicide.But no, the son did not commit suicide. Infact, hehas a lover, an African lover with whom he had bonding relationship of an alternate lifestyle.The son had girlfriend back home though. It’s too late now, son is dying.. Parents, particularly the mother to blame for the neglect and for not allowing him to do what he always wanted to do (career). The son suffered a lot mentally through out his life including ragging at the college/hostel which was forced upon him by his own parents who neither believed in him nor had time to be by his side when he needed them most - Third person ended up taking advantage of the situation.. The story well written taking into account the currents burning issues that affect the society. Peter Vaz gets full marks for that from JoeGoaUk for taking up this cause - Goa's alarming rate of suicide, is indeed a matter of concern. The house cook cum comedian role played by the Playwright himself (Peter Vaz). NGO secretary well played by Tassy Dias and a cameo role of tiatrist uncle played by Manuel Vaz who is a very familiar face at Kala Academy campus. Besides, there was a doctor (Armando Almeida) and the Son's friends in Goa Mr. Klaver Taveira, Myron Viegas and Josh D'Silva The tiatr has about 13 songs. Rich tribute paid to Chris Perry by Anthony and Suzie Fernandes (remember seeing Suzie crooning in Goan bands - Cascades?) Jr. Nelson (Thomas Afonso) paid tribute to Vasco Sports club footballer Late Andrew D’Souza and pleaded Vasco minister to honour him with a State award and Jose Gonsalves' tribute to tiatrist Jose Rod. Full Marks to all. Besides, Comedian Selvy’s comedy solo most loved by all, Betty D’Cunha, little Shayna Britto,Anvilly and Candida etc sang well. Quatet by Peter Vaz, Tassy Dias, Klaver and Myron was good too with Portuguese mix.
