Vicente Florenco Fernandes[a] (27 February 1941 – 16 May 2013), known professionally as Star of Curtorim or Seza Pai, was an Indian theatre director, dramatist, actor and composer, who primarily worked on the Konkani stage.

[3] In the realm of Konkani theater, Fernandes played a pivotal role in safeguarding and popularizing tiatr during his career spanning over five decades.

He demonstrated his versatility as a writer, director, and producer of numerous highly acclaimed tiatrs, such as "Izmol", "Maim Dukhi Sasumaim Sukhi", "Put Mhozo Bekar", "Nirmilolem Jivit", and "Seza Pai".

He consistently held Nelson Afonso, a renowned tiatr artist from an earlier era, in high esteem for his support in staging "Seza Pai".

This beggar demonstrated compassion by using the money he collected to purchase fruits and chocolates, which he then distributed among the children attending catechism classes at the church.

Moved by the beggar's selflessness, he drew inspiration from this incident and crafted a theatrical production titled "Seza Pai".

"[3] Afonso not only provided guidance but also actively participated as an actor in the tiatr, fostering a sense of deep gratitude within Fernandes.

The Tiatr Academy of Goa also expressed deep sadness upon Fernandes' demise, recognizing him as one of the esteemed theater directors in Konkani language.
