in origin. Jagar is divided into two different categories based on the

class and caste of the people who perform it. In no particular order,

the first is the Perani Jagar and the second is the Gawda Jagar. The former is acted out only by the Hindus; while the latter is enacted by the Christians.

The word tiatr is from the portuguese word for theatre. This is an interesting traditional Goan performance. There are 6 or 7 acts, of short duration, about 15 minutes. The acts are called Podd'dde. To drive away the monotony, song performances are included in between the acts. There are group as well as individual performances. The songs are not directly related to the play, but are based on social, religious and political themes. Tiatr mainly tackles socially relevant topics like alcoholism, drug addiction, and inter - caste marriages. The tiatr is done on stages with proper props and equipments.
