Tiatr Academy Goa featured Philo de Pilerne in their monthly programme âKolakorak Bhettâ (Meet the Artiste) on 21st February 2012 at 4:45 pm at TAG's Conference Hall, Campal Trade Centre, Panjim. Philomena DâSouza who was known to tiatr lovers as Philo de Pilerne has carved a special niche for herself on the field of tiatr due to her acting abilities.
A born artiste, she showed signs of acting and dancing while in the school. Her acting talents were first tested in the village tiatr written by Anthony Correia Pienkar and directed by Tomazinho Cardozo in the year 1975. The tiatr was staged in the month of January on the occasion of the feast of St. Anna at Marra Pilerne Bardez Goa. It was in this tiatr that Philo de Pilerne captured the attention of the tiatr lovers due to her sheer acting abilities. Subsequently she acted in numerous tiatrs in the villages staged on the occasions of village feasts.
However, she got a break on the professional tiatr stage when the famed artiste of tiatr stage Nelson Alfonso requested her to play a very important role in his new tiatr 'Doganch Puro' in 1977, under the banner of Young Stars of Goa. Philo de Pilerne, with her excellent acting, contributed immensely for the success of the tiatr 'Doganch Puro'.
Ligorio Fernandes who was very popular at that time on the Khell-Tiatr field observed that Philo de Pilerne can be used for more important roles and hence he offered her a very significant role in his tiatr 'Jasmina' in 1979. Acting of Philo de Pilerne added to the success of the Khell-Tiatr 'Jasmina'. She acted for almost four years in numerous plays written and directed by Ligorio Fernandes.
In 1983 Philo de Pilerne went abroad for better prospects and returned back to Goa only after 11 years. Ligorio Fernandes once again signed her for his Lent shows of tiatrs for which he was very popular at that time. Philo de Pilerne contributed a lot in making Ligorio's Lenten shows a big success.
Her acting abilities were appreciated by the tiatr goers throughout Goa. Hence Prem Kumar, one of the stalwarts of tiatr stage, offered her a role in 'Ordhi Bhakri' which she performed to the satisfaction of the audience.
She did an outstanding role in the Tiatr 'Purtuguez Kolvont' -- the most popular tiatr written and directed by John Claro Fernandes. She has also acted in tiatrs written and directed by Patrick Dourado, late Fr. Freddy J. Da Costa, late Valent Mascarenhas and late William de Curtorim and has traveled in and out of Goa to stage tiatr shows.
Besides acting on tiatr stage she has contributed for the promotion of plays through All India Radio, Panjim and also by acting in T.V plays.
Philo de Pilerne has also engraved her name on the silver screen when she acted in the film 'Jivit Amchem Oxem'. She did an important role of a vamp and caught the attraction of the people. The song 'Ang Mhojem Poi Punn Hath Lainaka' picturized on Philo de Pilerne is a concrete example of her brilliance in acting.
Kala Academy Goa has recognized her contribution to tiatr stage by felicitating her on the occasion of âTiatr Dayâ on 17th April 2003. She has numerous awards to her credit.
