Gulzar’s Genius comes to Goa
BY RUSSEL D’COSTA HERALD FEATURES he Ravindra Bhavan, Margao offers theatre lovers a treat as a veteran of Indian cinema, Gulzar, a writer, director, lyricist and poet, brought out his masterpieces on stage. ‘Atthanniyaan’ was loved by the audience. The cast included Yashpal Sharma, Lubna Salim, Atul Kulkarni and Amit Jairath to name a few. The story is based on the classic underdog trying to make a living in a metro. The show was a vivacious collage of poems and stories about the Mumbai Mahanagar. Through the play ‘Lakeerein’, a variety of emotions circulated amongst the hall – hope, despair, passion and redemption being some of them. The play offered a peek into the lives of people who are divided by lines drawn on a piece of paper. The play is inspired by a few real life incidents. Today, Gulzar portrays the suffering of the nation during the partition and the extreme, hazardous action taken in the name of religion through another of his masterpiece ‘Kharaashein’. Thousands of citizens were slaughtered unreasonably in the name of partition at a time when there should have been rampant celebrations and gaiety forms the storyline. May 8 will see an interaction with Gulzar, a Padma Bhushan awardee who has also received several national and film awards for his works.

t’s not an easy life for all those Goans working on board the ship. They have to encounter hardships untold while they slog to earn something for their living and simultaneously support their backward families, way back home in Goa. But their challenges are worth an appreciation as it has helped many seafarers to have a roof above their heads and a decent living with their wives and children. This is the message conveyed by Menino de Bandar in his ongoing drama ‘Koxtt Tarvotteanche.’ He has aptly brought to light the hurdles encountered by many seamen and on the other hand, way back home, how some women get tempted to waste their hard-earned money, through lavish spending. Thomas (Antush) works as a seaman and not only supports his wife Joshila (Antonette de Calangute) but also his unemployed younger brother Desmond (Satyawant Tari), his wife Bushenn (Ida) and their only son Michael (Max). Over a period of time, Thomas makes an attempt to help his brother get employed on board the ship and work successfully as a seafarer. Once employed, Desmond’s wife Bushenn places herself on cloud nine and does not miss a single opportunity of spending lavishly all the hard-earned money sent every month by her husband. She does not think of the future or what awaits her and her family in the future, but

BY KESHAV NADKARNI n interaction with renowned dramatist Mahesh Elkunchwar was held this Thursday at the Black Box of the Kala Academy, Panjim. Back in Goa after almost 22 years Marathi dramatist and the writer behind dramas like ‘Wada Chirebandi’, ‘Holi’, ‘Atmakatha’, etc, has created a number of tremendous plays in the world of Marathi theatre. In 1988 at my residence in St Cruz, he had a very similar ‘gappa tappa’ which he still remembers. Having grown over the years with his intellect and writing the interaction was a treat to the lovers of drama and literature. After the welcome by Dr Pandurang Phaldessai, member secretary, Kala Academy, Rajeev Shinde, another noted dramatist and artist made Elkunchwar talk about his works and his life. A very straightforward writer he spoke about his works with plenty of humour. The audience enjoyed it immensely and went into peals of laughter at his anecdotes. Speaking straight from his heart he answered the all the questions put across by the audience. Towards the end, he stated that Grotosky, the famous Polish dramatist is a big influence on him. The entire session was an eye opener to the man, especially for budding writers and dramatists who received tips on drama writing. It was, indeed a great pleasure meeting this theatre great!

she simply loves to live in the present, by making unnecessary expenditure on clothes and other accessories. She spoils her only son Michael by purchasing a mobile worth Rs 25,000, besides a motorcycle worth lakhs of rupees even when he is a minor and does not own a licence. Tragedy strikes their family when Michael is involved in an accident and her husband is caught in a tempest at sea. Will Desmond make a safe return home? What are the hurdles encountered by Bushenn and her brother-in-law Thomas at home? What follows in both the families is worth watching in the second half of the drama. Dialogue delivery by all the actors and different scenes depicted on stage are worth the effort and Menino deserves a pat on his back for the powerful message conveyed through this drama. It’s an eye opener for all those women who fail to appreciate the hardships their husbands face once they board the ship and make their journey. Jesus Antao, Rudolfin, Peter de Macazana, Alcin and T Britton provide pills of laughter with their interludes in between the acts. Some of the songs by Antush, teenager Francia Camelo, Cielo, Reginaldo, Sheikh Amir are worth listening as they convey a message or two to the audience.
