Remédios Januário "Remmie" Colaço (19 September 1925 – 22 March 2012) was an Indian singer, composer, actor, playwright, and theatre director known for his work in Konkani films and tiatr productions.

One of their endeavors was the staging of a theatrical performance known as a tiatr, specifically Bhagintlem Ful (The Garden Flower), which took place at Damodar Hall in Parel.

His acting prowess resulted in acclaim, as evidenced by an article in the weekly publication Goa Times that praised Colaço's performance.

Continuing their artistic endeavors, the Jolly Boys of Sewree organized another tiatr production called Sotachem Zoit (Truth Prevails), which was showcased at the St. Xavier's School Hall in Dhobitalao.

This particular tiatr enlisted the participation of professional tiatrists such as Souza Ferrão, Dioginho D'Mello, Anthony Vaz, Kid Boxer, and Edward Almeida.

The manner in which Colaço delivered these songs garnered admiration from the seasoned tiatrists in attendance, who extended their congratulations for his musical contributions.

[2] Upon completing his studies in Sewri, Colaço relocated to Dhobitalao, where he formed a close friendship with Edward Almeida, an established professional tiatrist at the time.

[2] Some of his popular solo recordings included "Adlea Tempar," "Suberbai," "Tondd Dolle Kan," "Xirap," and "Mog Jezucho," while his collaborations with Mohana Cabral, Lourdes Lobo, and Philomena Braz on duets such as "Mhojea Gharant Naka," "Futtleli Boxi," and "Jivitacho Rukh" garnered acclaim.

Popular works in his repertoire included Satvo Sacrament (The Seventh Sacrament), Bhauponnancho Kaido (Rule of Brotherhood), Chouto Mandament, Sukh Tarvotteachem (Seafarer's Happiness), Zolmancho Gaum (Birth Village), Ghorachem Sukh (Part I & Part II), Don Kallzam (Two Hearts), Atancho Teomp (Present Generation), Mhuzo Kunhead, Atam Konn Sukhi (Who now is Happy?

He had the opportunity to join a troupe that toured Nairobi, Mombasa, and Dar-es-Salaam in Africa, performing in shows such as Cunhead Ani Mana and New Fashion by Jacinto Vaz in 1957.

[3] In addition to Goa and Bombay, Colaço staged performances in Delhi, Karnataka, Gujarat, and embarked on tours to various countries, including Nairobi, Moshi, Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanga, Nakuru, Mombasa, as well as Bahrain, Kuwait, Dubai, Qatar, Muscat, and Abu Dhabi in the Persian Gulf.

[2] On the 6 May 1960, Colaço entered into matrimony with Maria Julieta Ligorina Fernandes, a homemaker originally from Mangalore but resided in Curchorem, Goa.

Figures such as Tomazinho Cardozo, the then-president of the Tiatr Academy of Goa, tiatrist and advocate Mike Mehta, and former Curchorem MLA Domnick Fernandes were in attendance and offered their thoughts on the occasion.

[6] In 2018, a street adjacent to the old Prashant theatre was dedicated in honor of Colaço as part of a series of initiatives commemorating 125 years of tiatr.

However, by October 2020, members of the tiatr community and enthusiasts had expressed dismay over the poor condition of the name plaque on Remmie Colaco Road in Curchorem, which had fallen off and was discovered in the nearby bushes.

Tomazinho Cardozo, the head of the celebration committee, acknowledged the incident and assured The Times of India that the damaged plaque would be promptly restored.
