Rodrigues commenced his journey on the
tiatr stage at the age of ten, establishing himself as a
tiatrist (
tiatr performer). His talent and aptitude allowed him to gain popularity, not only in his native village of
Parra and the surrounding villages of the
Bardez taluka, but also in various other villages throughout the state of
Goa. He shared the limelight with commercial
tiatrists such as
Valente Mascarenhas,
Prem Kumar,
Jessie Dias, S. B. Radio, Thomas Andrade, and many others. Theater directors, including Valente, Thomas Andrade, Francis de Parra, Bonaventure D'Pietro, and Anthony Furtado, sought Rodrigues' participation in their
tiatrs. Some productions in which he featured include Valente'
Bim Toxem Bhat, Thomas Andrade's
Mog Vo Axea (Love or Greed) and
Ekuch Mati (One Sand), Francis de Parra's
Lagmodi Sun, Bonaventure D'Pietro's
Vatt Chuklelem Suknnem (The Lost Bird), and Anthony Furtado's
tiatr. Rodrigues garnered acclaim for his
comedic songs and frequently portrayed comic characters in collaboration with fellow comedian Johnny de Saligão. Rodrigues showcased his talent and versatility as both a
tiatr performer and a
zagor artiste. His passion for these traditional forms of folk drama, ignited a sense of enthusiasm within him whenever
tiatr or
zagor were mentioned. On 17 May 2014, Rodrigues made his final appearance in the
zagor production titled
Sukh Tankam Favo Zaum (May they find happiness), which was written and directed by his son, Domnic de Parra. In this performance, Rodrigues collaborated with his son Braz de Parra and brother-in-law Aniceto, forming a
trio that showcased a composition personally crafted by Rodrigues himself. During this significant occasion, Rodrigues received recognition and appreciation, being felicitated alongside John de Parra. ==Personal life==
