Comedian Agostinho

Temudo caught the interest of the elder figures within his nearby community. The older boys in his village offered him the opportunity to take on a comedic role in an upcoming tiatr performance, that was scheduled as part of the village's annual feast in Navelim. It was during this tiatr production that Temudo caught the eye of Albert, another resident of the village who was known for writing folk plays (khells). During the carnival season, Temudo secured a role in one of Albert's traditional play performances. He continued to hone his acting skills by appearing in Albert's plays, titled Vonott and Baim (Well). He was later enlisted by a well-known tiatr artist named Lino Dourado. While working with Dourado in the tiatr Mauli, Temudo was approached by Jose Rod and offered a major comedic role in that production. In the Mauli tiatr, Temudo collaborated with popular comedic actors such as Comedian Domnic and Comedian Philip Pereira. His work alongside these tiatrists appeared to boost his reputation and career. In a short time, he started to receive invitations from several popular playwrights who were actively working in that era.^[4]

In the mid-2010s, Temudo transitioned from being one of the popular actors on the Konkani stage to becoming a popular director within the same theatrical tradition. His directorial career commenced in 2000 with the play Suseg, following his tenure as the primary comedian working with the Konkani artist Roseferns, collaborating with the latter on several tiatrs. Although transitioning to focus on directing his own tiatrs, Temudo maintained his involvement in acting. While taking a break from his directing duties, he joined the ensemble of Konkani artist Mario Menezes, simultaneously presenting his own productions during the monsoon period. The pivotal moment in Temudo's career came in 2007 when he took the significant step of forming his own theatre troupe and directing his own tiatr, titled Sir. This production marked a turning point, establishing his directional abilities. Temudo credits the guidance and mentorship of actor-director Samuel Carvalho, in addition to his personal insights of demonstrating an understanding of the complexities associated with producing a tiatr, for his transformation from an actor to a director.^[4]

Temudo has produced several works that examine the issue of corruption in Goan society. His plays Police and Police-II illuminate the pervasive problem of corruption in law enforcement, showcasing both the prevalence of dishonest practices within the police force and the portrayal of upright and virtuous police officers. In a later tiatr named Public, Temudo directed his scrutiny towards the manifestation of corrupt practices within the realm of local panchayats. His 2013 work Corruption Kabar? (Corruption Over?) also addressed the theme of corruption, though the playwright rejected allegations that he simply reused material from his previous plays. In this tiatr, Temudo illustrated the struggles of a senior woman living in poverty, showcasing her interactions with mistreatment and dishonest actions within society. He also showcased how a rape incident could lead to the perpetuation of corrupt behavior. Through this play, Temudo suggested that corruption has permeated various spheres of Goan life, extending beyond just the political class. His body of work aimed to raise awareness about the widespread and systemic nature of corruption in Goa. His tiatrs depicted corruption as a societal problem, with common citizens also partaking in and perpetuating corrupt practices.^[4]

In September 2015,^[5] Temudo was nominated for and elected to the position of president of the Tiatr Academy of Goa (TAG). His appointment was reportedly facilitated by the support of Avertano Furtado, a local politician who was the Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Navelim at the time, a close aid of Temudo. His elevation to the TAG presidency drew criticism, as he was perceived to lack the requisite administrative expertise and academic credentials commonly linked with the position. The Goan Everyday, published an article by Melba Vas that characterized Temudo's tenure as a "death blow" to the TAG. Vas alleged Temudo of making decisions that showed preferential treatment towards certain tiatr performers while neglecting others, and that awards were granted based on the Temudo's personal preferences rather than merit. Furthermore, it was claimed that the organization's rules were modified to benefit Temudo and his supporters.^[6] In mid-2023, Temudo released a new tiatr production titled Past is Past. This work went on to achieve historic significance, as it was staged in the United Kingdom^[7] and Ireland, marking the first time a Goan tiatr had been performed in the latter region.^[8] The production's Goa debut was also generally well-received.^[9]

Temudo is married. He has two sons and a daughter.^[10] His son, Aidan later joined his father's theatre troupe as a trumpeter.^[11] While Temudo did not pursue tiatrist work as a full-time profession, he was employed at the Rosary College in Navelim for nearly two decades, starting in around 1998.^[12] In 2012, he was residing in his ancestral home located in Dongorim, Navelim.^[3] Later in the 2010s, Temudo relocated to London, UK, where he settled.^[13] He maintained close professional relationships with fellow Goan entertainers Comedy Queen Janet and Comedian Selvy, performing alongside them as part of a comedic trio.^[14]
