...Arjun Raina connects his country’s
traditional dance Kathakali with
Shakespeare’s words…
…you
find stories about magic forests,
ghosts and magic flowers….the
characters are clear-cut good
or evil…
…He
(Raina) does not approve that
the simple conservation o tradition
lack’s today’s politics,
the ridicule and maybe even the
subversive.
For
his new theatre form, the courageous
frontier even has a new name:
Khelkali – you should remember
that one.
