Kala Academy Goa will organize their annual ‘khell tiatr’ festival, this year dedicated to the memory of the late Antonio Maria Pereira. The various plays will be staged at the Dinanath Mangeshkar Kala Mandir Auditorium from July 14 to July21, 7.00 p.m. onwards. The festival has an interesting line up of plays.
‘Amchei Anvde’, from M P Productions, Vasco da Gama, sees Maxcy Pereira weaving a tragic tale of an individual who sacrifices everything, including the love of his life, for his brother only to be rewarded with ungratefulness. The innocent parents suffered in the conflict. A beautiful script and continuity makes the play very watchable. Tracy, Maria, Oldrin, Marcus and Maxcy head the cast. Dominic Carvalho’s ‘Tim Odhik Bhagi’ presented by J M Productions, Calata, Majorda, narrates what happens when family conflicts arise and how others take advantage in such a situation. The play also takes a critical look at way Goans are selling of their land. Gloria, Rita, Cynette, Godwin, Seno and Jackie head the cast with good support from Cyril, Caetano, Pitush, Domnic and others.
Socorro de Sta Cruz is well known for his audio albums. ‘Hanv Porot Letelim’ written by Socorro and presented through Liby’s Productions, Santa Cruz, is a play that takes a look at exploitation of women, especially young widows, by the rich crooks. The woman fights back but cannot bear the ungratefulness of her own son. Carmine, Peter de Merces, Socorro, Cyril Almeida and others support Maria Martins who is impressive in the lead. Anil Olga Productions, Quitula Bardez will stage ‘Ek Dhago Sukacho’ a story of family values written and directed by Anil Pednekar, who has made some impressive plays in the last couple of years. This presentation will also be staged in New Delhi later this month. The cast has Olga, Aplon, Luis Bacchan, Netto and Anil in the main roles.
After a break of two days, on July 20, Menezes Theatre, Chinchinim will deviate from their usual family dramas to present a tale of suspense and mystery - ‘Love Story 2009’. Writer-director, Mario Menezes tells the story of two lovers. The girl is brutally murdered and the boy is accused of the crime. He is arrested by a corrupt cop and has to prove his innocence. No more disclosures as those who have not watched the play have to be surprised. Rosy Alvares, Agnes, Lawry Travasso, Mario de Vasco, Edison, Mario Menezes and others feature in the cast.
To wind up M P Productions, Benaulim will present Menino de Bandar’s ‘Jiv’, a tale of a life created and deserted by its parents. The play carries a fine message. Antonette de Calangute, Angela, Ida, Cielo and Ben Evangelisto star in the play. Antush and Bonny give impressive performances while Menino de Bandar does a fine cameo of a traditional tailor.
Do enjoy the shows!
