“Koothu” – A documentary by Ms. Sandhya Kumar

In many villages in Tamil Nadu, a theatre tradition still links people with a past. Closely connected with religion and caste rituals, koothu brings to life stories about gods, demigods, kings and demons from the Indian epics. A typical koothu performance is an all-night show in which performers wear elaborate make-up, costumes and wooden ornaments, and simultaneously sing, dance and act on stage.

During the festival season, many koothu companies tour the countryside, often commissioned by villages to perform for several consecutive nights. Yet, in spite of its enduring rural popularity and because of its low-caste associations, koothu struggles to find place and patronage in urban art circles. Who creates the binaries of folk and classical? Who decides what is crude and what is sophisticated? Through the work of two koothu masters, P. Rajagopal and Sambandan Thambiran, the film Koothu delves into questions of representation and patronage of the art form while presenting its art and aesthetics.
