THE LEGACY OF THE KALARI

CRA’P Presentations 2024

Saturday, 25 May at 19:00 at CRA’P space

We remember the master Veerasree Sami Gurukkal, who dedicated his life to the transmission of Kalarippayattu that we do at CRA’P.

A great opportunity to discover kalarippayattu. There will be demonstrations by kalari practitioners, and the screening of the short film A conversation with fear by the director Naveed Mulki where we Will discover the daugther of Sami Gurukkal, the Kalari Master Radhika Gurukkal. There will also be a dance theatre performance of ‘Topeng’, with traditional Balinese masks, by Toni Cots. And an introductory open practice for those who want to experience the fundamentals of Kalaripayattu.

The Kalarippayattu of Kerala (India) is one of the most ancient martial art forms in the world. Through its very scientific physical discipline, it opens up the practitioner energy channels and pushes the boundaries of the body to become strong, flexible and focused – physically, mentally and spiritually; the reason why both theatre and dance artists and anyone interested practice it as a daily discipline. No physical condition or previous experience is necessary to practice.
