Kathakali Dance Ensemble

From India

From the Kerala Kalamandalam, the ensemble will present excerpts from the epic Indian poem The Mahabharata, as a dramatic dance-drama with dancers, actors, singers and drummers, renowned for their elaborate costuming and make-up that will be applied over three hours in a public showcase before they take to the stage.
