As the Natya Sastra states – ‘Desha Kale Nimmit’, ICK has taken the traditional form of Kathakali to interpret the world today.

The International Centre for Kathakali, New Delhi (ICK) has a well-known repertoire of Kathakali known for its unique style of performance. Artists from the different schools of Kathakali in Kerala come together to form an ensemble that is a classical combination of traditional art with a modern outlook to the world.

Othello

Othello, a tragedy by Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1603 has been one of the most appreciated original productions of ICK. The poignant tale of revenge was adapted to Kathakali and has been performed all over the country and world since.
