<br />
Tall and dignified, Sylvester Vaz, the 'Hitman of Konkani Stage' as he is popularly known among Konkani Tiatr lovers, is a simple and compassionate friend to all. He has directed many plays and musical shows and organized many Konkani and English programs in the State of Goa. He is a celebrated compere at many gala shows and plays host for weddings, parties, dances, etc. At first year L.L.B, Sylvester was awarded a special prize for cultural performances at the Goa University. <br />
<br />
For over 13 years, Sylvester has worked as a professional Konkani stage artiste and is much sought after actor to execute leading roles. He has acted and performed with the cream of Goa and Mumbai artistes – acted in short plays and Telefilms of Goa and Mumbai TV-Doordashan and sung many times. Gifted with an incredible tone, Sylvester has rendered his voice in many audio and CD albums in Goa/Mumbai and Mangalore. The last audio with lyrics penned by him was 'Tujem Upkari Hanv' together with Goa's nightingale Lorna. <br />
<br />
Besides acting in Goa, Mumbai, Mangalore, Bangalore, Ratnagiri, Malwan, Udupi, Karwar, Ahmedabad, Delhi, etc, he has an international exposure which goes to prove his star status. He has traveled to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Qatar, Bahrain and now ofcourse based in Kuwait. The multitalented star has a distinct record of singing the opening chorus in almost every drama he features while winning awards has become a habit with him. He has bagged 5 times Best Actor and 6 times Best Singer Award at the Tiatr competitions organized by Kala Academy, Goa. Son of Mestre Camilo Vaz and Catarina Vaz, Sylvester comes from Maddel Grande, Margao, Goa. He is happily married to well-known stage artiste Irene Cardozo and has a 14 year old son named Jeremiah.<br />
<br />
The dashing personality landed in Kuwait in 2002 to perform in a drama and fortunately to his good luck was invited to stay back for a job. Since then he has performed in almost every Konkani show organized by the Goan community in Kuwait. Deeply spiritual and having a strong religious grounding, Sylvester also uses his voice to spread the message of God. He is actively involved in the Charismatic Renewal Movement and is a prominent member of the Holy Family Choir as well as the husband-wife duo are also Cathecists serving in the Holy Family Cathedral. The star swept the audience off their feet with his screen presence in T-Bush’s Konkani first e-cinema 'BLACK Nhesop Atanchem Fashion'.<br />
<br />
Initially, he used to organize stage plays and other variety programs at the Holy Spirit Church, Margao where he was involved in many activities specially in leading the church choir. His knowledge in playing the guitar and keyboards was a plus point. During one such program Sylvester was approached by Alex Rangel to act in his tiatr 'Koslo Kaido' for which he also composed songs and re-worked the whole script. I was spotted in this particular show by Micheal Gracias - a regular participant with his troupe Kala Niketan, Utorda, at Kala Academy Tiatr Competition, Panjim, he vividly remembers. Micheal invited me to join Kala Niketan and later gave me an opportunity to sing and act in the competition.<br />
<br />
The biggest encouragement came when he won a merit certificate for just a one minute role. After that Sylvester was a regular for the competition shows for 9 consecutive years. I won many first places for acting and singing during this time featuring in prize winning plays like 'Valltti', <br />
'Vadoll', 'Xhanti Melltoli', 'Onupkarponachem Vojem', 'Bodmas Zalem' and 'Moronn' under the Kala Niketan banner; and Michael Gracias' famed plays such as 'Moronn", 'Mukti', 'Zodd', 'Moipass', etc. Famous drama director Mario de Vasco who acted in one of our shows was so impressed with my singing prowess that he cast me in his first maiden show called 'Dhump', my first professional show, Sylvester smiles as he narrates this.<br />
<br />
Under the banner Vell'lekar Nirmiti (Velim Productions) and direction of Fr. Nevel Gracias Sylvester acted in 'Amche Ghorabhe Kosbeleat?', Nach Gho Sundorea!', 'Amcho Bharat Mahaan!', Mhaka Tan Laglea', Tuji Xokti Dhi', 'Dev Kallzant Asa', 'Mhojea Mogant Ravat', 'Khursachem Zoit', etc. For Fr. Planton Faria, he acted in 'Goycho Saib', Kantteamcho Mukhutt,' etc. Other dramas I acted are late Rosario Rodrigues' 'Hanv Kallokhant Sandllim', 'Soglech Kantte Nhuim,' etc. Comedian Domnic's 'Tum Pasun', Comedian Agostine's 'Suseg', 'Sorg' as a joint director, Ali's 'Mog Korat', Jose Rod's 'Tujem Nanv Vhodd Zaum', M.Boyer's 'Kelear Chuk Kabar Sukh', Tony Dias' 'Thi Mhoji Maim (Part I) and Thi Mhoji Maim (Part II), Jr. Nelson's tiatr 'Ghorkar', etc and 'Argam Tuka Dhonia' by Tony Dias in 2005. <br />
<br />
Sylvester sang at the Konkani film festival in 2000 and also acted in a professional English musical entitled 'Annie' directed by Fr.Valmiki Dias which was staged all over Goa and Bombay. It was a dream come true to act alongside legendary Konkani stage stalwarts like M.Boyer, Ophelia, Robin Vaz, Rita Rose, Rosario Rodrigues, etc.<br />
<br />
His first show in Kuwait was for Simon Gonsalves in 'Tujea Kallzak Vinchar' in 2002. He also acted for Simon's 'Tuzo Gaum, Mhojem Naum'. Other dramas where he acted and was by now a recognized face were for Laurente Pereira's 'Lokachim Thonddam Bond' and 'Hea Gharachim Daram Bond'; 'Bhurgim Maim Paichem Sukh' and 'Ghor Bandlem-Ghorabho Moddlo' by Late Rosary Ferns; 'Almanachea Disa' by Marcus Vaz; Micheal D'Silva's 'Noora'; Salu Faleiro's 'Arxeant Hanslo, Arxeant Roddlo', Rafael de Majorda's drama, Rosario Rodrigues Production 'Aum Kallokhant Sandllim'; Patrick Dourado's 'Tujem Rogot'; Comedian Philip's Hit musical show 'Tum Voir Hanv Sokol', Kuwait-Goa Tiatristanchi Sonstha's (KGTS) Mega Musical Show, 'Tiatr ani Tiatrist', 'Konknni Machiek Noman', and various other musical shows and programs organized by Goan and Mangalorian communities.<br />
<br />
In 2001, Sylvester had an offer from Tony Dias, producer of the superhit drama 'Thi Mhoji Maim (Part I)' for a gulf tour Kuwait/Bahrain/ Dubai/ Qatar/Muscat). In Kuwait, the show was hosted by Navelim Youth Centre (NYC) at the Indian Arts Circle hall. This club made the propaganda of my name giving me the title as 'Hitman of Konkani Stage'. It has to do with the percentage number of 'hit roles' he has enacted. The sobriquet still stands although he is a little title shy. “I prefer any kind of roles but most of all I like to play character roles. I craze for roles where I can exhibit great style and wear fancy clothes. I myself possess a passion to dress tidy and chic on stage. That helps me to expose my talents with freedom and fervor - be it singing, acting or dancing”, he mentioned to this interviewer.<br />
<br />
The role of Doctor Romeo in late Shri Rosario Rod's non-stop drama 'Aum Kallokhant Sandllim'. This particular role specially written by Rosario Rod brought him into the limelight on the professional stage. So also, his other forte is that he enjoyed playing a classic negative role in Comedian Agostine's 'Suseg' for which he gained a number of die-hard fans. Also, at the staging of 'Goencho Saib' people used to come and kiss my hand and fall down at my feet…it was touching...<br />
<br />
Among the females, Irene Cardozo e Vaz is my all time favorites as an actress, and after my marriage to her she is my heroine of all times. <br />
Sylvester has acted in many regional language telefilms such as'Kranti',<br />
'Somaz zago asa', 'Mhaka zaag zai' of Eagle Productions which were dubbed in Konkani and Marathi and telecast on Goa and Bombay television. <br />

Also seen singing in Shahu’s VCD- “MUSICIAN” and will be seen in “DOLLA” by Ignatius-this film also short in Kuwait & Goa.<br />
<br />

Udupi, Karwar, Ahmedabad, Delhi, etc, he has an international exposure which goes to prove his star status. He has traveled to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Qatar, Bahrain and now ofcourse based in Kuwait.<br />
<br />
It is on record that Sylvester was the only Goan Konkani artist to be selected to sing at the Konkani film festival in 2000 and also acted in a professional English musical entitled 'Annie' directed by Fr.Valmiki Dias which was staged all over Goa & Bombay. It was a dream come true to act alongside legendary Konkani stage stalwarts like M.Boyer, Alfred Rose, Rita Rose, Ophelia, Robin Vaz, Rosario Rodrigues, Remmie Colaco, Antonette Mendes, Trio Kings, C D’Silva, Aristides Dias, Late Bab Peter, etc.<br />
<br />
Sylvester is a Catechist in the Holy Family Cathedral, Kuwait City for the last five years. He devotes his time in singing for the glory of God. "I am Choir Master & Incharge of 3 (three) Choirs in the Cathedral. I love to glorify God with my singing & Music and also to teach and train young children. My wife also sings along with me and my Son Jeremiah joyfully plays the keyboards", he mentions.<br />
<br />
Recently Sylvester toured London in July with Maestro Shahu’s Musical show “TIATRIST” and by public demand and special request will be travelling once again to the U.K.to perform in Fr.Lucas Rodrigues (Pilar Fathers Production) “MHAKA ZABAB ZAI” next month. <br />
<br />
Konkani lovers get set to entertain with the melodious voice of Sylvester Vaz and Irene for Comedian Philip's "ANI, ANIK ZAIEM" musical show to be staged on 9th September 2011 at the American International School auditorium, Maidan Hawally.<br />

One such artist is Irene Cardoz e Vaz from Maddel in Margao.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Married to the noted tiatrist Sylvester Vaz now based in Kuwait , Irene who shot into the limelight in the late Rosario Rodrigues' tiatr 'Sopna' in 1985, is a post graduate in Arts. "I was 15 years old and had just passed SSC from St. Anthony's High School - Assolna in Salcete when the tiatrist Mario Menezes first introduced me to the late Rosario Rodrigues" informs Irene.<br /><br />Thus began her acting career as she acted in Rodrigues' several tiatrs such as Fulham ani Kolle, Hanv Kallukant Sadlim and Ashram. Since then she has acted for most of the well-known stage directors like Patric Dourado in "Tin Fungotteamche Maran" and "Nomoskar" and also for M Boyer, Prem Kumar , Jose Rod, Prince Jacob, Fr. Planton Faria , Fr. Nevelle Gracias, Pascoal Rodrigues, Tony Dias and Mini Mario.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Give her any role in a tiatr and she performs it with immaculate perfection both to the satisfaction of the tiatr director and the audience as well. "I do not mind to play any role in a tiatr if at all I am allotted one, but I do certainly love to play a tragedy role, which is very dear to me", discloses Irene.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Whenever she is allotted a role in tiatr, she studies the script thoroughly before the commencement of the general rehearsals. " Believe me, I make all efforts to first rehearse the dialogues and their delivery before a mirror at home before going for the general rehearsals", informs Irene who has been into stage acting for almost two decades. "The exhortation in the Bible of Mathew 25:14-30 inspired me into stage acting" discloses the artist who is also in the 'Charismatic Movement' for a long time.<br /><br />She is very grateful to her parents for being very supportive to her in her acting career right from her younger days. "It was indeed my parents who exhorted me to march ahead but for whom I would not have achieved such name and fame today," she remarks.<br /><br /> <br /><br />"After I married, my husband Sylvester, also let me his full support to continue with acting as he was very broadminded", asserted Irene proudly. She began first in Khell- tiatrs but after her marriage, she took a plunge in tiatrs and began singing in the company of her husband.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Commenting on the quality of tiatrs, Irene opines that the tiatr has come off age today, which indeed is a good sign. She warns the tiatr directors to exercise utmost caution and not portray any kind of vulgarity through cheap comedy, as that would lead to the destruction of the unique form of folk art. "Let the stage be a pulpit from where good morals and values are propagated to the audience specially to the younger generation of today," counsels Irene.<br /><br /> <br /><br />God has given me this great talent of acting and I am using it fully for the greater glory of the Almighty", says Irene who is also regarded in tiatr circles a the tragedy queen. A dashing footballer too. Irene represented Goa in 1987 when she was in the twelfth standard. Irene is blessed with a six year old son, Jeremiah.<br /><br /> <br /><br />HERALD-Mirror dated October 24, 2004Goa-World.COMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02905034224348483211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8370671655766386289.post-47445030666658381172009-04-02T07:01:00.000-07:002009-04-02T07:08:41.330-07:00A Tete-a-Tete with superstar Sylvester Vaz<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hw6cK4hsxjk/SdTG4VZrd_I/AAAAAAAAEoI/lY4tDVNwDpo/s1600-h/234237528605_0_ALB.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 263px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hw6cK4hsxjk/SdTG4VZrd_I/AAAAAAAAEoI/lY4tDVNwDpo/s320/234237528605_0_ALB.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320095730951223282" /></a><br />A Tete-a-Tete with superstar Sylvester Vaz<br /><br />By Gasper Crasto, Team Mangalorean Kuwait<br /><br /><br />Kuwait Aug 6, 2008: <br /><br />Tall and dignified, Sylvester Vaz, the 'Hitman of Konkani Stage' as he is popularly known among Konkani Tiatr lovers, is a simple and compassionate friend to all. He has directed many plays and musical shows and organized many Konkani and English programs in the State of Goa. He is a celebrated compere at many gala shows and plays host for weddings, parties, dances, etc.<br /><br /> At first year L.L.B, Sylvester was awarded a special prize for cultural <br />performances at the Goa University. For over 13 years, Sylvester has worked as <br />a professional Konkani stage artiste and is much sought after actor to execute <br />leading roles. He has acted and performed with the cream of Goa and Mumbai <br />artistes – acted in short plays and Telefilms of Goa and Mumbai TV-Doordashan <br />and sung many times. Gifted with an incredible tone, Sylvester has rendered his <br />voice in many audio and CD albums in Goa/Mumbai and Mangalore. The last audio <br />with lyrics penned by him was 'Tujem Upkari Hanv' together with Goa's <br />nightingale Lorna.<br /><br /> Besides acting in Goa, Mumbai, Mangalore, Bangalore, Ratnagiri, Malwan, <br />Udupi, Karwar, Ahmedabad, Delhi, etc, he has an international exposure which <br />goes to prove his star status. He has traveled to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, <br />Qatar, Bahrain and now ofcourse based in Kuwait.<br /><br /> The multitalented star has a distinct record of singing the opening chorus in <br />almost every drama he features while winning awards has become a habit with <br />him. He has bagged 5 times Best Actor and 6 times Best Singer Award at the <br />Tiatr competitions organized by Kala Academy, Goa.<br /><br /> Son of Mestre Camilo Vaz and Catarina Vaz, Sylvester comes from Maddel <br />Grande, Margao, Goa. He is happily married to well-known stage artiste Irene <br />Cardozo and has a 10 year old son named Jeremiah.<br /><br /> The dashing personality landed in Kuwait in 2002 to perform in a drama and <br />fortunately to his good luck was invited to stay back for a job. Since then he <br />has performed in almost every Konkani show organized by the Goan community in <br />Kuwait.<br /><br /> Deeply spiritual and having a strong religious grounding, Sylvester also uses <br />his voice to spread the message of God. He is actively involved in the <br />Charismatic Renewal Movement and is a prominent member of the Holy Family Choir <br />for the 8.00 am mass every Friday.<br /><br /> The star is set to sweep the audience off their feet with his screen presence <br />at the premier of entitled 'BLACK Nhesop Atanchem Fashion' - the first Konkani <br />E-Cinema scheduled for release on Aug 10, 2007 at Masrah, Hawalli Auditorium.<br /> What makes this flamboyant actor-singer click? Talent of course, which he has <br />in abundance with hard work to match! Let's find out more in this one-to-one <br />with Gasper Crasto.<br /> <br /> Q. How did Sylvester Vaz come to be an actor?<br /> Sylvester: Initially, I used to organize stage plays and other variety <br />programs at the Holy Spirit Church, Margao where I was involved in many <br />activities specially in leading the church choir. My knowledge in playing the <br />guitar and keyboards was a plus point. During one such program I was approached <br />by Alex Rangel to act in his tiatr 'Koslo Kaido' for which I also composed <br />songs and reworked the whole script. I was spotted in this particular show by <br />Mr. Micheal Gracias - a regular participant with his troupe Kala Niketan, <br />Utorda, at Kala Academy Tiatr Competition, Panjim. He invited me to join Kala <br />Niketan and later gave me an opportunity to sing and act in the competition.<br /> The biggest encouragement came when I won a merit certificate for just a one <br />minute role. After that I was a regular for the competition shows for 9 <br />consecutive years. I won many first places for acting and singing during this <br />time featuring in prize winning plays like 'Valltti', 'Vadoll', 'Xhanti <br />Melltoli', 'Onupkarponachem Vojem', 'Bodmas Zalem' and 'Moronn' under the Kala <br />Niketan banner; and Michael Gracias' famed plays such as 'Moronn", 'Mukti', <br />'Zodd', 'Moipass', etc. Famous drama director Mario de Vasco who acted in one <br />of our shows was so impressed with my singing prowess that he cast me in his <br />first maiden show called 'Dhump', my first professional show.<br /> <br /> Q. Who are the prominent directors that you worked under?<br /> Sylvester: Under the banner Vell'lekar Nirmiti (Velim Productions) and <br />direction of Fr. Nevel Gracias I acted in 'Amche Ghorabhe Kosbeleat?', Nach Gho <br />Sundorea!', 'Amcho Bharat Mahaan!', Mhaka Tan Laglea', Tuji Xokti Dhi', 'Dev <br />Kallzant Asa', 'Mhojea Mogant Ravat', 'Khursachem Zoit', etc. For Fr. Planton <br />Faria, I acted in 'Goycho Saib', Kantteamcho Mukhutt,' etc. Other dramas I <br />acted are late Rosario Rodrigues' 'Hanv Kallokhant Sandllim', 'Soglech Kantte <br />Nhuim,' etc. Comedian Domnic's 'Tum Pasun', Comedian Agostine's 'Suseg', 'Sorg' <br />as a joint director, Ali's 'Mog Korat', Jose Rod's 'Tujem Nanv Vhodd Zaum', <br />M.Boyer's 'Kelear Chuk Kabar Sukh', Tony Dias' 'Thi Mhoji Maim (Part I) and Thi <br />Mhoji Maim (Part II), Jr. Nelson's tiatr 'Ghorkar', etc. Last show I acted in <br />Goa was 'Argam Tuka Dhonia' by Tony Dias in 2005.<br /> I sang at the Konkani film festival in 2000 and also acted in a professional <br />English musical entitled 'Annie' directed by Fr.Valmiki Dias which was staged <br />all over Goa and Bombay. It was a dream come true to act alongside legendary <br />Konkani stage stalwarts like M.Boyer, Ophelia, Robin Vaz, Rita Rose, Rosario <br />Rodrigues, etc.<br /> <br /> Q. What about your 'record' in Kuwait?<br /> Sylvester: My first show in Kuwait was for Simon Gonsalves in 'Tujea Kallzak <br />Vinchar' in 2002. I also acted for Simon's 'Tuzo Gaum, Mhojem Naum'. Other <br />dramas I acted are Laurente Pereira's 'Lokachim Thonddam Bond' and 'Hea <br />Gharachim Daram Bond'; 'Bhurgim Maim Paichem Sukh' and 'Ghor Bandlem-Ghorabho <br />Moddlo' by Rosary Ferns; 'Almanachea Disa' by Marcus Vaz; Micheal D'Silva's <br />'Noora'; Salu Faleiro's 'Arxeant Hanslo, Arxeant Roddlo', Rafael de Majorda's <br />drama, Rosario Rodrigues Production 'Aum Kallokhant Sandllim'; Patrick <br />Dourado's 'Tujem Rogot'; Comedian Philip's 'Tum Voir Hanv Sokol', Kuwait-Goa <br />Tiatristanchi Sonstha's (KGTS) Mega Musical Show, 'Tiatr ani Tiatrist', <br />'Konknni Machiek Noman', and various other musical shows and programs organized <br />by Goan and Mangalore-ian communities.<br /> <br /> Q. You are known as the 'Hitman of Konkani stage'? How did you get this 'apt' <br />title?<br /> Sylvester: In 2001, I had an offer from Tony Dias, producer of the superhit <br />drama 'Thi Mhoji Maim (Part I)' for a gulf tour <br />(Kuwait/Bahrain/Dubai/Qatar/Muscat). In Kuwait, the show was hosted by Navelim <br />Youth Centre at the Indian Arts Circle hall. This club made the propaganda of <br />my name giving me the title as 'Hitman of Konkani Stage'. It has to do with the <br />percentage number of 'hit roles' I have enacted. The sobriquet still stands <br />although I am a little title shy.<br /> <br /> Q. What kind of roles usually appeal to you?<br /> Sylvester: I prefer any kind of roles but most of all I like to play <br />character roles. I craze for roles where I can exhibit great style and wear <br />fancy clothes. I myself possess a passion to dress tidy and chic on stage. That <br />helps me to expose my talents with freedom and fervor - be it singing, acting <br />or dancing.<br /> <br />Q. Which role did you like playing to your hearts content so far?<br /> Sylvester: The role of Doctor Romeo in late Shri Rosario Rod's non-stop drama <br />'Aum Kallokhant Sandllim'. This particular role specially written by Rosario <br />Rod brought me into the limelight on the professional stage. So also, I enjoyed <br />playing a classic negative role in Comedian Agostine's 'Suseg' for which I <br />gained a number of die-hard fans. Also, at the staging of 'Goencho Saib' people <br />used to come and kiss my hand and fall down at my feet…it was touching...<br /> <br />Q: Tell us something about your role in BLACK<br /> Sylvester: I' am playing a character of a son working in a high status <br />environment in Kuwait. First and foremost the script is interesting and <br />moreover T-Bush, being such an intelligent craftsman, has spun around a tale <br />that will keep everyone at the edge of their seats even as they laugh along. <br />You know, it is such a lethal combination.<br /> <br /> Q. Which actor or actress has impressed you in your career and in BLACK? Why?<br /> Sylvester: I met late Bab Peter just once in Jose Rod's drama 'Tujem nanv <br />vhodd zaum' in Goa and I truly enjoyed working with this legend. He has a down <br />to earth personality. Among the females, Irene Cardozo e Vaz is my all time <br />favorites as an actress, and after my marriage to her she is my heroine of all <br />times. In Black, I enjoyed working with all my co-artistes. We had lots of fun <br />on the sets especially Comedian Philip's presence would add sparkle to the sets <br />– he is so lively.<br /> <br /> Q: Did you get to see any footage of your role in BLACK?<br /> Sylvester: (smiling) Till date – No! Hopefully before the release…..?<br /> <br />Q. What is your favorite scene from BLACK that you think people will want to <br />watch over and over?<br /> Sylvester: Hmmm……all scenes are lively and well balanced. Though I don't have <br />a principal role to play, according to T-Bush, a lot of profundity of the film <br />is based on my character. Just wait and watch…..<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Q. How did you prepare for your role in BLACK?<br /> Sylvester: There was no special preparation. It's a 'standard' role and <br />frankly speaking T-Bush had faith in me that I would do it naturally. He kept <br />telling me this all the time. I feel proud that a 'director of international <br />fame' had so much confidence in me.<br /> <br /> Q. What was it like working under the supervision of T-Bush?<br /> Sylvester: T-Bush is a simple person, but full of zeal for innovative ideas. <br />Best thing is that he is not biased, treats everyone with respect. I really <br />appreciate his temperament and strategy to handle things in a suave manner <br />during the sets. He gave us all the liberty to feel at ease. I thank him for <br />giving me the opportunity to exhibit my talent and for adjusting the 'shoot' <br />dates according to my schedule. Not forgetting to wish God's blessing upon <br />BLACK and success in his future endeavors, I would love to work with T-Bush in <br />all his future projects.<br /> <br /> Q. What do you expect for yourself as an actor out of acting in BLACK?<br /> Sylvester: I have acted in many regional language telefilms such as <br />'Kranti', 'Somaz zago asa', 'Mhaka zaag zai' of Eagle Productions which were <br />dubbed in Konkani and Marathi and telecast on Goa and Bombay television. I have <br />done a few home videos as well but this particular E-Cinema is gonna be <br />something totally different. Iam looking forward to the premier of the movie on <br />Aug 10, 2007 and see myself there on the giant screen.<br /> <br /> Q. What are your expectations of BLACK for the movie fans?<br /> Sylvester: My expectations are very high. I've seen lot many things done with <br />great fortitude and perfection contrary to things that I have seen in my career <br />on stage. To undertake a mega project like this film (BLACK) that too in a <br />foreign country requires great nerve and determination. T-Bush seems to have <br />achieved it. I'am pretty thrilled to be acting in the film. Trust me, anyone <br />who misses this film will miss the opportunity of life because I understand <br />this film will not be available as a home video. I am sure the film is not just <br />for an Indian audience but an entire International audience. The subject is a <br />light hearted entertainer; it would surely meet with universal acceptance.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Q. What are you most often afraid of in life?<br /> Sylvester: Jealousy, back-stabbing and hypocrisy.<br /> <br /> Q. What have you learnt as an actor in Kuwait?<br /> Sylvester: I have learnt a lot! They say experience makes a man wiser….sure <br />as the saying goes I have learnt to adjust with different 'creatures' who move <br />around with 'kam zalem voiz melo' type of attitude. I have survived from the <br />clutches of jealousy and back stabbing solely on my talents, and I still exist <br />to serve the Konkani Stage in Kuwait by the grace of god and strong support of <br />my family. To mention, the 'organizers' of shows in Kuwait should avoid <br />creating fissure among co-artistes and work towards the unity of all <br />'tiatrists' for a constructive future.<br /> <br /> Q. What do you most frequently dream about?<br /> Sylvester: Having my own villa on an island.<br /><br /> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hw6cK4hsxjk/SdTGjNxwa6I/AAAAAAAAEoA/1I0O0MbYeY8/s1600-h/20081222fiesta19.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 198px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hw6cK4hsxjk/SdTGjNxwa6I/AAAAAAAAEoA/1I0O0MbYeY8/s320/20081222fiesta19.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320095368127474594" /></a><br /><br /> Q. You are one of the best singers in Kuwait, yet you have not come up with <br />your own album. Comments?<br /> Sylvester: Yes, many fans and friends question me on this, the only answer I <br />can give them is, 'wait, wait, my time is not yet come.'<br /> <br /> Q. What projects are currently in your agenda?<br /> Sylvester: My own drama and my own home video album and possibly a mega <br />Konkani film. I have offers to perform in London, Canada, Germany, etc. Looking <br />ahead to keep myself busy!<br /> <br /> Q. Is your family into tiatr?<br /> Sylvester: Yes, my wife Irene is a professional stage artiste for decades and <br />my son Jeremiah also acted with us in 2 shows in Kuwait. He can play drums and <br />keyboards and is grooming to be a musician. My father is a musician and teaches <br />music.<br /> <br /> Q. Is there anything you would die for?<br /> Sylvester: Nothing, but I have a great dream to act with Amitabh Bachchan. <br />One of my favorite actors since my childhood, I am always fascinated by his <br />high quality of acting and caliber. I remember once when I was preparing for my <br />Xth standard board exams, although I had an exam next day, I left my studies <br />and ran to see Amitabh's shooting of 'Mein Azad Hoon' in Margao.<br /> <br /> More on BLACK:<br /> Stage great Mario de Majorda in a new avatar <br /> Black star Comedian Philip spills the beans <br /> Black: Helen Pinto in a friendly appearance <br /> A Tete-a-Tete with Cajetan Pereira <br /> What makes 'Black' an E-Cinema? <br /> Rowla Lewis: Amazing 'discovery' of BLACK <br /> Crowning of 'Comedy Queen Querobina' <br /> Black: Braz de Parra composes songs with danceable beat riffs <br /> Lead actress of Black - Gracy Morais Speaks <br /> 'Black' film shot in Kuwait set for release <br /> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTduCJkQNiQ<br /><br />This Article is featured in Mangalorean.com<br />www.Mangalorean.comGoa-World.COMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02905034224348483211noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8370671655766386289.post-13078369158174638632009-04-02T06:46:00.000-07:002009-04-02T06:56:48.676-07:00“Patiexi Devacher, zoit vorxi devcharacher” - Nevel Vell'lekarVOPARINCHEA BHANDDARANTLEM:<br /> “Patiexi Devacher, zoit vorxi devcharacher”<br /> -Nevel Vell’lekar<br /> <br />Decembrachea mhoynneant mhaka Kuwait vochunk sondhi mell’li.
