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.
