Chavittunatakom

Chavittunatakom is a Christian art form of Kerala. The art form evolved
at the turn of the 16th Century AD during the Portuguese colonization and
bears definite traces of the European Christian Miracle Play.
In this musical drama, the actors wear Greco-Roman costumes and even the
stage-props bear foreign influences.
In the past, the Chavittunatakam was performed on open
stages, though sometimes
the interior of a church was also the venue. The language is a colloquial
mix of Tamil and Malayalam.
