Livelihood

Kattaikkuttu theatre is an integral part of the intangible Tamil cultural heritage. At the Sangam, we maintain and develop this traditional theatre form by adapting old plays and creating new, original works. We make Kattaikkuttu’s embodied know-how accessible to multiple audiences to ensure that generations to come will be able to enjoy and take part in its rich story repertoire, its vigour and aesthetic beauty.Founded in 1990 by actor, director and playwright Perungattur P. Rajagopal, together with theatre scholar Dr Hanne M. de Bruin and 15 actors and musicians, the Kattaikkuttu Sangam is a not-for-profit initiative that aims to uphold the prestige and quality of the Kattaikkuttu theatre.Our Vision: To realize Kattaikkuttu’s full potential as a carrier of traditional artistic knowledge and skills and a contemporary theatre that is attuned to the cultural and economic demands of today’s society.Our Mission: As a democratically representative body, the Sangam works towards maintaining and developing Kattaikkuttu as a respected art form of exceptional quality and craftsmanship and a sustainable profession for its performers.We strongly believe that all art forms count equally and should be inclusive and accessible to all.
