Media Release
Toronto, Jul 15: Widely acclaimed tiatr, "Adeus" performed by the Goan Konkani troupe and written and directed by Jr Menezes will be held on Friday July 25 at 7 pm. The diminutive stature of versatile Jr Menezes belies his technical and theatrical skills which are being put to the mettle in the magnificent Hammerson Hall of the prestigious Living Arts Centre in Mississauga. Together with his cast and crew, led by the creative mastercraft genius of A C Pereira, you will be totally immersed in the play.
The entertaining evening of traditional Konkani theatre will evoke a range of emotions and astound the audience with the creative special effects, many of which have never been produced on the big stage at LAC. To add to that, those who do not understand Konkani all that well will not be left at the mercy of their companions as the organizers are providing simulcast English super-titles to the dialogue. This will be projected on a screen above the main stage so choosing your seat appropriately will be critical.
The best view for the stage and the super-title screen is from the middle of the orchestra section to the back of the dress circle. However for those who are fluent in Konkani, the first half of the orchestra section (rows A to F) will be ideal to get close to the action and enjoy the special effects on stage.
The proceeds of this production will go towards supporting the only registered Goan charity in Ontario, the Goan Charitable Organization. This body has been responsible for putting several dozen faltering members of the community back on their feet with a financial boost at the time when it was needed most. Invariably, beneficiaries of the organization have become their greatest supporters when back on track but it would not be possible without the support of the audience, stated a press release issued by the organizers.
"Come out for an evening of fun at the end of the week and let Jr. Menezes sweep you away to that nostalgic place of your ancestry. Bring your kids out to let them experience, probably for the first and last time, a traditional Konkani production. Make it a family event and encourage your relatives and friends to join you as well."
"Adeus" takes place at 7:00 pm sharp at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga. Two levels of free underground parking can be accessed at 4141 Living Arts Drive. Attached is the poster for the event listing contacts in the GTA for tickets.
