A Kalari Take on Shakespeare

William Shakespeare gets an Indian colour and feel as a multi-lingual Anglo-Indian theatre production blends a work of the 16th century genius with Indian theatrical and cultural elements ranging from Bharatnatyam to Kalaripayattu and even Manipuri dance.

"The vigorous dance movements and the use of Kalaripayattu, which is actually a martial art, gave the production a kind of energy that is usually not present in Western theatre. But it has helped in highlighting the work of Shakespeare better."
