To perfrom Kathakali in Dorchester and Liverpool brought this incredible art form into two unforgettable communities. In Liverpool, the home of The Beatles, it was impossible to forget how they changed the world through their music and a message of peace and non-violence.

KATHAKALI MAKES HISTORY.
When Kalamandalam Vijayakumar made the decission to adapt the unforgettable melodies of the legend G Devarajan Master, the superb poetry of Vayalar, and P Bhaskaran Master, into classical Kathakali, a new door opened. BY Beautifully sang by Sadanam Jyothish Babu, Chenda Sadanam Ramakrishnan, Madalam Kalamandalam Aneesh. and slogam

This emotional play reflects the tragic murder of innocent men in Kashmir last year, how a young woman, just married, and enjoying her honeymoon, had to whitnesses the horror of her husband being shot in front of her. The unimaginable pain of all the victims is held in the depth of this Kathakali story.

PEACE
Created, and performed, by Kathakali actor, Kalamandalam Vijayakumar, the saddness that this woman endured is a powerful reminder that violence, of any kind, has no place in a caring society.

What happened in Liverpool and Dorchester was astounding. The audiences were spellbound, including the children, who sat totally focused for the 50 minute solo performance, many were crying, with emotion at what they had experienced.

This very moving event, promoted by the Liverpool Malayali Hindu Samajam, and Dorchester Arts, was unforgettable and placed Kathakali deep into it`s ancient storytelling tradition that highlights the eternal battle between good and evil.

Kathakali returns to the UK - Autumn 2026.
