The crowd gathered in the premises of
the Tagore Theater was blown away with the scintillating Chavittu Natakam
performed by Ajith Kumar and his troup.
The troop in colorful costumes retold the glorious tales of bravery and valor
of the great French Emperor Carelman, who ruled over the kingdom in the 8th Century
A. D. The play Carelman
Charitham played in association with the Vajra keralam Celebrations is the most
famous play of Chavittunatakam.
“The platforms like Vajra Keralam and inclusion in the Youth
festivals have opened up more arenas for the art form,Said a performer.It is
pathetic that the dedicated artists are finding it difficult to procure a
living with the art, he added.”
The play liberally includes elements
from Kalaripayattu, Kudiyattam and other folk traditions .The art form emerged
in Gothuruth of Kochi is more popular in the costal belt of Kerala.
