When one finds out from his doctor that he is dying soon, what choice does he have now? 1. Keep the secret to himself and enjoy the remaining part of his life to the fullest 2. Tell everyone about it and expect pity or a ‘sorry’ look from friends and family etc 3. Remain indoors or Commit suicide This aged father's choice was no. 1 above - to live and enjoy remaining days of his life the way he always wanted, a rather unusual way – Going back to the past or go back to his childhood (for he missed his own due to poverty). Fun, pranks etc did not go well with the family. In fact, this is the perfect opportunity or an excuse to the daughter-in-law to send him to an old age home she even frames him for something (another prank) he never did. ‘Aged parents, treat them with care’ was the message this tiatr tries give us all.
Tiatr ‘TOUCH PAUS’ written by Cyril Almeida (United Dramatic Association, Carambolim, Goa) Was the third entry in the ongoing 37th Tiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy of Goa and support by Tiatr Academy of Goa (TAG). Staged on 13th Sept. 2011 It’s an unusual presentation with clear message. The role of grandfather, father and mother well played by Giri Zalmi, Shubert Rodrigues and Annie Fernandes. It had about 13 songs including solos, duets, duo, trio and quartet. Opening chorus by playwright Cyril Almeida was meaningful and well sung. Besides, his daughter Claniffa, Robert de Calvim, Annie, Seby, Agostin etc also sung well. Child artistes too did well but most needed more practice and guidance as there were several FLs and OB/OVs Other supporting actors were Clarissa Almeida (grand daughter), Vinod Khumbharjuemkar (Cook/Comedian), Alton D’Souza, Nitin Veluskar, Inez Fernandes etc Band by Agnelo and Zakarias Lobo etc. Their entire opening ‘tocado’ is added to the video clip Photo show only http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=z6XQFy5vk7g&vq=large#t=198 or http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=z6XQFy5vk7g&vq=hd720 or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6XQFy5vk7g Satage pics Seby http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauktiatr10/6146057789/in/photostream Father http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauktiatr10/6146606850/in/photostream/ Agostin http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauktiatr10/6146607372/in/photostream/ Benny Albert http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauktiatr10/6146607774/in/photostream/ Nitin and Giri http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauktiatr10/6146608192/in/photostream/ Shubert, Vinod Khumbarjuemkar, Annie, Clarissa and Giri Zalmi http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauktiatr10/6146059859/in/photostream/ Sweden and Salu http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauktiatr10/6146060269/in/photostream/ Agostin, Roy, Robert and Annie http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauktiatr10/6146609454/in/photostream/ Giri, ?, Vinod, Inez, Nitin, Clarissa http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauktiatr10/6146609854/in/photostream/ Annie, Giri & Shubert http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauktiatr10/6146610662/in/photostream/ or visit this blog for ready disply pics and updates http://joegoauk-konkani-tiatr-vcds-films.blogspot.com/2011/09/37th-tiatr-competition-toch-paus.html [email protected] for Goa & NRI related info... http://in.groups.yahoo.com/group/GOAN-NRI/ For Goan Video Clips http://youtube.com/joeukgoa In Goa, Dial 1 0 8 For Hospital, Police, Fire etc
