The Kala Chethena Kathakali Theatre Company
In 1991 one of the very first SEALL events was a remarkable visit from the Kathakali company - a memory which has stayed with those who attended. One of the world’s foremost Indian dance companies embracing drama, dance, music, visual arts and ritual to create one of the world’s most exotic, visually exciting, and powerful forms of theatre. Colourful costumes and elaborate three dimensional make-up magically transform the actors into gods, kings, devils and princesses, allowing them to tell universal stories of the struggle between good and evil through gesture, emotion and expression. The show starts with an opening ceremony performed amongst the audience as they arrive and creating the dramatic atmosphere of an Indian village before the procession into the hall.Date: 31/10/08
