Simon Gonsalves' CHALLIS DIS ANI CHALLIS RATI




CHALLIS DIS CHALLIS RATI

What would happen in our lives if we stripped away the facade of "being a good Christians" and looked honestly at the struggles in the midst of job, money, lifestyle, parenting, relationships, schooling and more? What happens when we stop pretending that it’s so easy to follow the Almighty One? Can we learn to accept that even when worn down to the stub, the candles that are our lives can still illuminate the spaces we move in? Why should we even bother?

"Challis Dis Challis Rati" spaced from the Ash Wednesday to the Resurrection blends the intimacy of personal storytelling, digital reflection, world wide myths, and spiritual narratives to examine the call each of us has received to be a light to the world, even when we’d just rather hide it under a bushel.

Simon Gonsalves, popular director and playwright presents "Challis Dis Challis Rati" with Comedian Agostinho, Jessie Dias and Willy Silveira and famous local artistes Marcus Vaz, Laurente Pereira, Mario de Majorda, Seby Mascarenhas, Comedian Philip, Querobina, Sandra Fernandes, Ryana, Bab Pallen, Ignatius de Xelvon, Cajetan de Sanvordem, Michael D’Silva, Anthony Carr, Katty de Navelim, Sanny de Quepem, Salu Faleiro, Joseph, Manu, Francis de Tuem and Ronny-Jasmine.
