Revival of Konkani tiatr needed

With a dip in the number of coronavirus positive cases in the State, life is slowly and steadily getting back to normal even if one would like to call it the ‘new normal’. 

After the lockdown period, when the movement was restricted and people had to be confined within the four walls of their home, they deserve a break. 

Movie houses are slowly opening up. People need some sort of entertainment to get over the mental trauma they had to undergo during the past several months due to the pandemic. 

For many Goans Konkani tiatr happens to be their sole source of entertainment. However the tiatr has not been revived thus far. In this context it is gratifying to note that the Konkani tiatr “Hero” is making a comeback after crossing the century mark as the troupe is all set to perform once again after the pandemic. 

Other tiatr producers and directors also need to come forward and stage their tiatr in halls by following all SOPs. Goan Konkani tiatr lovers have over the decades supported the tiatr producers by attending their shows in large numbers. 

It is now left to the producers to give back to the people by reviving the tiatr culture in a big way. Tiatr lovers are eagerly looking forward to the revival of this most popular form of entertainment among Goans.
