Koothu tales
I have been intending to tell the exciting time I had at Koothu Fest 2005, for a long time, but I guess I got worn out writing the story for the paper. It should appear on the Sunday Magazine, dtd. March 20.
Here are some pics. I'm downloading others soon, but let's say this is like a dry run or a teaser campaign!
There are shots of other performers, but the man that caught my attention was kalamandalam prabhakaran, rendering Ottan Thullal - a kind of burlesque theatre that descended from the more famous Chakkiyar Koothu. A solo, Kalyana Saugandhigam, was about an hour- and-a-half long and Prabhakaran played three roles: Hanuman, Bhima and Draupadi, slipping into each role with the practised ease only a connossieur can achieve. I sat spell bound right through.
