About Talamaddale
Talamaddale shares Yakshagana's narrative world but does not depend on its elaborate costumes or dance. Performers interpret characters through speech, argument and improvisation, with a musical narrative linking the conversation. Its appeal lies in listening to how each character understands the story.
