Natyadharmi 22: Where Ravana took the centre stage

The Hindu  

Ask any Koodiyattam actor who his favourite character is and the answer will invariably be Ravana. So it was particularly apt that ‘Natyadharmi 22’ — the annual five-day festival organised by the central Sangeet Natak Akademy’s Kutiyattam Kendra — had Ravana as its theme. Love was again the theme when Margi Sajeev Narayana Chakyar presented panadroopam, where Ravana’s ten pairs of eyes feast on Sita’s beauty. Usha’s depiction of Ravana — with fire in his eyes, while impatiently waiting for Shiva, and the glow in his eyes when he sees his bride Mandodari — was fascinating. Kalamandalam Sangeeta presented another part of Mandodari’s Nirvahanam to describe how Ravana won the three worlds.
