King Georges Hall

Kathakali - meaning 'story play' - combines drama,dance,visual arts and ritual to create one of the world's most exotic,spectacular and powerful forms of theatre. Colourful costumes and elaborate three-dimensional make up magically transform the actors,singers and drummers into gods,kings,devils and princesses empowering them to tell universal stories of the struggle between good and evil through gesture,emotion and expression.

A rare and fantastic opportunity to see eminent artists from Kerala, South India - including world famous Kathakali master, Kalamandalam Gopi perform this extravagant, legendary artform.

In addition to the 7.30pm performance there is a unique opportunity to take part in the 2.30pm Drama Workshop or
3.45pm Music Workshop or to attend a 5.00pm Open viewing of Costume/Make up preparations.
