Kathakali

The Kala Chethena Kathakali Company is a prominent organisation dedicated to promoting the traditional Indian art form of Kathakali outside of India. Established with the vision of making this powerful dramatisation accessible and enjoyable for people of all ages and cultural backgrounds, the company offers a range of performances, workshops, and exhibitions.

Rooted in Hinduism and evolving from earlier temple art forms in the 17th century, Kathakali combines elements of dance, music, and elaborate costumes to tell stories of the universal struggle between good and evil. The performances are designed to provide a captivating experience that appeals to audiences of diverse abilities and backgrounds, held in various venues including schools, theatres, and art centres.
