The fifth and the last tiatr in Kala Academy’s Tiatr ‘B’ Group competition was ‘Amcho Ekvott’ written and directed by Ajay Phadte and presented by Rock Felicio Music Academy Ponda. ‘Amcho Ekvott’ is a tale of labourer Anthony (Leandro D’Silva), his son Trevor (Ajay Phadte) and blind daughter Tracy (Natasha Pereira). Malap’pa (Eleuterio da Costa) is all set to grab the Chapel property, which is in the vicinity of Anthony’s residence. He intends to build a mega project in that prime location, but Anthony and the villagers don’t want to part with the ancestral property. To make his dreams come true, he tries to take advantage of Swizel (Roana Pereira), who is working for him.
On the sly, Swizel is in love with Trevor and lures him with promises and goodies. But ultimately, all her intentions are only to satisfy her boss. Trevor’s father warns him to stay away from Swizel, but to no avail. At the insistence of Malap’pa, Trevor pressurizes his father to do away with the Chapel property. He tells him that in return they will get Rs 50 lakhs which will be useful to operate his blind sister. Will Anthony bow down to these pressure tactics? Will he give in to his son’s request? Will the villagers stand by him till the end? Who comes to his rescue at the end?
