KGTS 5th musical show - Tiatristponn Devachem Dennem

Welcome! Lovers of Konkani! And, in particular, all you lovers of Konkani tiatrs for this glittering musical event, significantly and aptly titled, "Tiatristponn Devachem Dennem" proudly re-living the life of a Tiatrist. It is also our humble attempt to pay a tribute to the legendary Konkani stage artiste, the late Padmashree M. Boyer.

With the blessings of our Almighty God, Kuwait Goa Tiatristanchi Sonstha has marched in its seventh year of existence continuing its relentless efforts to foster and promote Konknni Tiatr and the cause of Konknni Tiatrist in Kuwait and Goa .

Year after year, Tiatrists from Kuwait unite under KGTS banner to contribute in various ways to mitigate the plight of Goan senior and retired Tiatrists who are now the victims of vagaries of destitution. KGTS salutes their tremendous contribution to the Konkani stage and cherishes the rich legacy left by them for the current artistes and future generations to follow.

KGTS stands united in its determination and commitment for the cause of Konkani Tiatr and Tiatrists, and its fervour to bring cheers on the faces of our senior tiatrists with our modest contributions. KGTS Musical Show 2009 attempts to travel down the memory lane of those glorious years when the stalwarts of Konkani stage regaled the Goan community not only in India but also the Goan Diaspora beyond the shores of India.

We seize this opportunity to thank our patrons, well-wishers and Konkani lovers without whom such a mega event could not be planned and presented. We are indebted to all our KGTS members and their families who rendered their relentless support and efforts braving against the tide to put up a spectacular presentation this evening.

Our humble and sincere thanks to you, our cherished audiences. Undoubtedly, it is your unconditional support, cooperation and patronage that enables KGTS to hoist high the flag of our 'mai bhas' Konkani and Konkani tiatrs. The story of our success is powered by your love for 'mai bhas' Konkani.

Last but not the least, we thank all people who offered prayers and sent best wishes for the speedy recovery of our founder member, Jose Rod. With the Grace of Almighty God, we look forward to see Jose Rod soon on the stage.

Francis Fernandes
President

Loudness is not Tiatr�s Uniqueness
Posted on 2008-10-01/www.navhindtimes.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR


THIS is in reference to the article 'Tiatr' The Exotic Goan Must Watch by Ms Clara Rodrigues on The Buzz (NT, September 26). In this article the uniqueness of Tiatr is described as 'A tiatr is unique as compared to Konkani or Marathi dramas as it has only one style 'that is it must be loud'. I feel this is an adverse remark on tiatr and its development during the last 35 years. To understand the uniqueness of Tiatr, one must be aware of the fact that the story of a Tiatr is normally divided into six or seven parts, each of which is called a 'pordho'. In between these 'pordhes' there are songs called kantaram. Normally there are 2-3 kantaram in between every two pordhes. This means that on an average there are at least 12-15 kantaram in the tiatr. Mind you that the themes of these kantaram are not all related to the main story of the tiatr. Therein lies the uniqueness of the tiatr. Even though only one particular subject is presented through the story of the tiatr, 12-14 different subjects are tackled through the kantaram in the tiatr. It is this aspect of the tiatr that makes the tiatr unique compared to other forms of dramatic art. Tiatr is a unique form of dramatic art also because it cannot be considered a musical drama, although it has a lot of music and song nor it can be called a prose drama in spite of there being a lot of prose in it. The article also says, The language used in the tiatr is a dialect of Konkani mainly spoken in the South known as Saxtti. This is also not true. The Salcete dialect is used only by the comedians particularly from Salcete taluka and not by all artistes except if the script for creating such a character in the play demands it.

Tiatr Review: Devacho Vhodd Upkar

Devacho Vhodd Upkar

- J.P. Pereira


Mariano Fernandes’ new ‘tiatr’, ‘Devacho Vhodd Upkar’ recounts a tale of a doctor with no scruples and his son, who follows his father’s footsteps until fate gives them a warning.

Dr Neves is married to Monica. He has accumulated money performing illegal abortions while his wife is a God-fearing, kind and loving woman. Oswin and Swizel, their children have contrasting characters. The son is a womaniser and the daughter is a very caring girl. Thelma, a poor girl in the same college as Oswin cannot pay her fees. Oswin willingly helps her through her financial crisis, but later demands his pound of flesh.

Although the storyline is excellent its presentation does not rise to great heights, as did the director’s previous plays which were both educative and entertaining. The cast gives fine performances. Felcy as Swizel and Luiza as Monica, act wonderfully. Betty Alvares does a good job as the mother. Anil Pednekar portrays the negative character of Oswin well and Menino Mario is great as the evil doctor. Sariton playing the character of Aston is exceptional with his acting. Evon, Aplon, Dominic and Luis Bachchan provide the play with humour.

In between the acts there are songs by Felcy, Aplon, Luiza, Andrew, Albert, Junior Rod and Marcos Vaz. Solos by Rosario de Benaulim, Elias and Francis de Tuem are a special mention.
