Include Tiatr, Kantaram in the IFFI cultural programme

INCLUDE TIATR, KANTARAM

The Dalgado Konkani Akademi, Orda-Candolim, has appealed to the State government to include Konkani tiatrs and Kantaram as part of the cultural programmes during the International Film Festival of India.

In a letter addressed to Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, Tomazinho
Cardozo said that after reading the advertisement appearing in a section of
the press on Sunday he was surprised to note that although dramas in
Konkani, Marathi, Hindi and English will be staged, the Konkani tiatr does
not find place in the programme.

He said that Konkani tiatr is the most popular dramatic form of Goa. No other stage in Goa has a mass base as Konkani tiatr enjoys.
