Kakkarissi natakom
Kakkarissi natakom is a satirical dance-drama based on the puranic legends of
Lord Siva and his consort Parvati when they assumed human forms as Kakkalan
and Kakkathi - a nomadic tribe of fortune tellers.
The legend only serves as a skeletal framework for the play, which often turns
into a subtle critique of contemporary society.
The language is a blend of Tamil and Malayalam. The chief characters are Kakkalan,
Kakkathi, Vetan, Velichappadu, Thampuraan and the ubiquitous Jester. The Dholak,
Ganchira,Chenda and the Harmoniumprovide the background score.
