Miguel Morais (7 February 1922 – 24 March 1990), known professionally as Xempea Minguel,[a] was an early 20th-century Indian stage actor, comedian, director, and drama teacher known for his work in fells or khells (traditional Goan street plays).

According to the 2019 book Tiatr 125th Commemorative Volume, Fausto V. Da Costa, a fellow writer states that, Morais was known as a popular khellgoddo - a term used to describe a stage actor in traditional Goan street theater productions.

Beyond these limited biographical details documented in the commemorative volume, little additional information about Morais's theatrical career and wider contributions can be conclusively stated based on available sources.

Other popular artists in this group included Khadda Minguel, Anton Marie, Santiago Pereira, Shalibai, Don Toclo, Piedade Fernandes, and Rosario Rodrigues.

[5] As per the accounts of Bombay-based archivist Edward "Eddie" Verdes, it is stated that, Morais and his contemporary khell artist Buk Buko, originating from the town of Chinchinim, were celebrated for their humorous acting performances that brought joy and laughter to audiences.

Viegas observed that the theatrical productions created by this ensemble of performers were popular for their enlightening content, especially receiving acclaim for the engaging and quality of their opening and featured songs.

According to a postgraduate study on English published material, the millennial and second-generation khell artist Malita Fernandes identified Morais as one of her favorite writers and directors of Konkani folk plays.

Antonio was credited as one of three key individuals who helped bring zomnivhele khells (street plays) to the professional stage, drawing inspiration from the established Konkani tiatr format.
