Robin Vaz (20 October 1932 – 16 November 2002) was an Indian playwright, actor, singer, and dancer known for his work in Konkani films, tiatr productions, and Goan folk music.

At the age of 11, Vaz seized an opportunity to act in a tiatr organized by his village peers, which showcased his early talent as a child artist.

Vaz's burgeoning reputation earned him invitations to act in tiatrs produced by established tiatrists such as Jephsis Hitler, Kamat de Assolna, and Saluzinho D'Costa.

Vaz had the opportunity to act and sing in several of Menezes's plays, including productions like Ravji Ranno, Padrichem Bondd, and Martyrs of Cuncolim.

[2] He authored a total of 27 tiatrs throughout his career, with works including Ajente Monteiro, Shantichem Login (Peaceful Marriage), Opinion Poll, Dada, Barabas, Ghatki Salome, Biatin, Sam Juanv Batist, Saddam Hussain, and Put Konnancho.

Among Vaz's repertoire, religious plays such as Adanv Ani Eva, Barabas, Dominic Savio, Don Bosco, Fatima Saibinn, Sam Juanv Baptist, and Ghatki Salomen stood out.

[3] One of Vaz's significant accomplishments was his self-penned tiatr titled Ajente Monteiro, which he wrote, directed, and staged shortly after Goa's liberation.

Vaz's talent as a folk singer and dancer became known, as he composed songs inspired by various Goan traditions, such as Kunbi, Kharvi, Xetkamti, Deknni, and Fugdi.

It was his mother, Valentina, who nurtured his passion for tiatr by taking him to local performances, including one by João Agostinho Fernandes, featuring A. R. Souza Ferrão, which left a lasting impression on young Vaz.

His friends from the village joined him, assuming the roles of popular tiatrists of the time, such as J. P. Souzalin, A. R. Souza Ferrão, Anthony D'Sa, and Miss Julie.

[4] Wilson Mazarello, a historian and singer specializing in Konkani culture, describes Vaz as an individual deeply connected to the world of music.

While the precise measurement of his height remains unknown, Vaz is widely acknowledged as the tallest and most imposing figure in the history of tiatr, a form of Goan musical theater.

Moreover, Vaz possessed a unique charisma that captivated audiences, and his presence on stage, combined with his rhythmic dancing, infused the atmosphere with vibrant energy.
