Kattaikkuttu Women

Kattaikkuttu Women As young women performers, we have experienced opposition and obstacles – from close and further away family members and from society.

We are 5 young women performers professionally trained in Kattaikkuttu who want to make this traditionally male-only Tamil theatre a dignified career choice for women and men. We have been told at different stages in our lives that we cannot continue performing. We want to eliminate the barriers that prevent other (rural) girls and women from performing Kattaikkuttu. The stigma and shame we face a

s women performers in Kattaikkuttu is two-fold and concerns both gender and the theatre (Kattaikkuttu) itself. As professional women performers who all have performed multiple roles (both female and male) in all-night rural and shorter urban performances, we feel we should have the same right as boys/men to perform Kattaikkuttu, that is to have our voices heard and to be visible on the stage in a dignified manner. We want to use our arts practice to lessen the stigma for the next generation of rural girls by empowering them through targeted arts training.
