Pavakadhakali

Pavakathakali - a traditional glove-puppet play of Kerala. Who does not like to hear stories? Human history is replete with stories, mythical as well as real life. Many stories have lived through generations. Stories have been told through books, paintings, songs, dance, plays and many other art forms. In India, traditional art forms, for generations have adapted stories from mythology and epics like Ramayana and Mahabharatha. Sadly many traditional art forms have been on the decline and one such art form is Pavakathakali. Here K.C.Ramakrishnan and his son Harish - Pavakathakali artists speak about the journey of the art form and their experiences.
