Kathakali
– meaning ‘story play’ – originated
in South India more than 500 years ago. It combines drama,
dance, music and ritual to create one of the world’s
most spectacular and spiritual forms of theatre.
Extravagant
costumes and elaborate make-up magically transform the
actors, singers and drummers into gods, kings, devils and
princesses, empowering them to tell universal stories of
the struggle between good and evil through gesture, emotion
and expression.
A rare opportunity to see eminent artists from South India,
including world famous Kathakali master, Kalamandalam Gopi,
perform this legendary art form.
