AAS It’s all about the ‘greed’
A greedy child may steal some food stuff or some money etc. A greedy minister may cling on to his chair for years, greed may even make him bring his own family members into politics. When you are rich and old or ageing, you might see that your family is nice to you because they want your money (that you may leave behind your death) Or some distant relatives may try hard to get into your good books. Besides greed for money, once can be even greedy for success, fame, popularity e.g. ‘paid advertisements’ Greed can be very dangerous too.. It can make you to steal, forge property documents and even kill someone. As in this case, the greedy sister (Angela), kills her own brother for his wealth. She then drives her nephew out of his own father’s house so that she can keep the entire ill-gotten wealth to her only son. Her son leaves home in search of his cousin and dies in an accident. The wicked sister kills herself in the end. ‘AAS’ written by Joauim D’Mello ( Kala Omkar, Panjim) was the 10th (of total 30) in the ongoing 37thTiatr Competition organised by Kala Academy of Goa and supported by Tiatr Academy (TAG). Staged on 29thSept. 2011. Today’s tiatr was opened at the hands of well know tiatrist and Mimicry artist Sheik Amir. Well, the tiatr reminded me of my old grany’s stories (kannio). Several things in the story did not make sense to me. while brother dies, he says he is leaving every thing in his sister’s name asking her to look after his only son who appears to be at least in his late 20’s. inoder to keep the entire ill gotten wealth to her son, the Sister drive his son out of the house and next we see the grown up son begging in the streets with a bowl (coconut shell) in his hand. Earlier, we see him walk down the street met with an accident and waking back saying ‘I am Blind’, no physical injury nor any red colour stains to fake blood. In the other household, a girl coming from a poor family, passes out first class first in all of Goa, come home and gives 4 surprises to her father. 1. About her passing 2. Free scholarship to USA for studies 3. Leaving in 2 days 4. She is taking her father and uncle with her to US What type of scholarship is this? Next, it was shown, all 3 in the US Amongst the actors, some were known faces like Angela, Effie, (Roma, Willy/Luiza, Muriel being cantaram side). Little 7 years old girl was Sherilda.
