AISI: 1987 Tiatr ‘Bhangar’ This tiatr had completed more than 100 shows all over Goa and beyond. Written and directed by none other than the 'man of thousand faces' Mr. C D Silva, a senior tiatrist who is completing 59 years on Konkani stage is now 75 and still going strong. Yesterday we had a chance to watch the 106th show at Panjim. BHANGAR (Gold) is not just about the precious yellow metal, but there are other things in this world that are as precious as ‘Bhangar’ and we should be safeguarding it as our precious wealth too. Something like this is beautifully brought out by our veteran director C D Silva in his re- enacted tiatr ‘Bhangar’ There were about 15 songs of solos, duets and trio. Singers were Bibiana (Opening), Victor, C D Silva and his brother Connie M, Ave, Betty Alvares, Rosario de Benaulim, Pascoal Rodrigues, Ignatius de Xelvona, Abel (new face), Jessica, Bushka, Baba Hashvin & Jouquim Jessica, the beauty of Konkani stage (at least to me) was at her best. Bushka’s role was that of a blind sister, also played very well. Young looking Maxy Pereira still has the charm of making everybody cry And our Joe’s role reminded me of ‘Ranjeet’ (later Shakti Kapoor) of Bollywood who were villains and were expert in rapes and murders. Pascoal Rodrigues, another yound looking, takes to drinking as his girlfriend left him for no fault of his. All deserve full marks. Besides, there was a hawaldar (Wilson), Police Inspector (Rosario), Ave (one of the two sons), Dy.Sp (Victor) We also saw a new face who did father’s role- Arthur And who is that 75 years old (Actual age) wicked ‘Mauxi’? Who ever she is, I must say I like her dance to the tune of ‘Zubi, zubi zubi’ with Com. Kenny. How do we get rain? Ask Com. Marcus as he has the perfect answer Fourth comedian was com. Michael
