Kakkarissi natakom is a satirical dance-drama based on the puranic
legends of Lord Siva and his consort Parvati when they assumed human
forms as Kakkalan and Kakkathi - a nomadic tribe of fortune tellers.
The legend only serves as a skeletal framework for the play, which
often turns into a subtle critique of contemporary society. The language
is a blend of Tamil and Malayalam.
The chief characters are Kakkalan, Kakkathi, Vetan, Velichappadu,
Thampuraan and the ubiquitous Jester.
The Dholak, Ganchira, Chenda and the Harmonium provide the background
score.
