An evening of Kathakali and percussion showcased a complete Purappadu, a single Melappadam and a performance of Ravanolbhavam
The new theme in 2021 is going back to basics, said Kathakali artist Peesappilli Rajeevan. And this is what this age demands from artists to build something exquisitely beautiful, pure, and unostentatious on a strong and simple foundation, said Rajeevan. The event that occasioned these remarks was Purappadu with “naalu nokku” and a “single” Melappadam that had gone out of vogue in recent times.
