Significance: One of the Earliest Theatre Art Forms in Kerala
Based on: Puranic Legends of Lord Shiva and his Consort Parvati
The satirical dance drama of Kakkarissi Natakom is based on
the puranic legends of Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati, when they
assumed human forms as Kakkalan and Kakkathi, a nomadic tribe of fortune
tellers, reckoned to be among the lowest castes of society.
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,
Thampuran and the ubiquitous Jester. The Dholak, Ganchira,
Chenda and
the Harmonium provide the background score.
