" Koothu is a remarkable art, a unique tradition and legacy for two thousand years now. In the age of commercialized entertainment, the mother of fine arts still holds herself alive and fights marginalization while still deeply engraved in its forms of Paavai koothu and Bommalaattam.

Kalari Heritage and Charitable trust is working towards the betterment of performing artists' life, to restore our traditional arts, while retaining the uncompromising stance on their originality so as to be handed over to the next generation in their pristine form and to document the art form."

Because Kattaikkuttu matters.

Tailor-made immersive workshops in Kattaikkuttu for participants from different backgrounds and different ages from a beginners to a professional level. You acquire foundational or advanced skills in Kattaikkuttu singing, speaking, acting, movement, music making and make-up. And you learn how these skills are powerful tools to identify with a character and express yourself on the stage.

Enjoy a quiet retreat in an idyllic environment away from the noise and pollution of the city and the pressure of fast communication. Reconnect with nature and rural life.

Combine your visit or stay with an immersive experience of Kattaikkuttu by commissioning a performance. If you are a writer or performing artist, this might be the place to write your new book or to work on a new production using one of our training spaces.

The Sangam’s Performing Arts Center or Kuttu Kalai Kudam is surrounded by 7 acres of land. Since 2018 we have been developing our land by planting a large number of trees and improving the soil for agriculture. Our organic farm already caters to our kitchen and we hope to become even more self-sufficient. You can join us in our experimental journey of living and working in harmony with the environment, society and culture.
