presents
THONDAN

An archaic ritual practice spawns an unimaginable spiral of revenge, carnage
and tragedy! This gripping nail-biter of a story from Shakespeare's earliest
tragedy Titus Andronicus, takes a new meaning and form in an exciting adaptation
by Miror Theatre - the first time the play has been translated into literary
Tamil.
Plot aside, ‘Thondan’, takes its form from physical theatre and
traditional Indian performing art forms – including the traditional
Kerala martial art form, Kalari Payet, Therukoothu (a form of street theatre)
and Koodiyaatam. A potent mixture of various Indian art forms with a contemporary
twist, Thondan promises to be a visual treat as well as a complete theatrical
experience.
Featuring Vasantham Central award-winning artistes including Puravalan, G
Selvanathan, Vicknesvari Vadivalagan, Sounderarajan, Kalpana, Sivakumar Palakrishnan,
Vickneswaran and many others. Titus Andronicus was translated by Elavazhagan
Murugan
Written by Elavazhagan
Co Written and Adapted and Directed by

“Come into the world of ‘Thondan’, where intrigue, treachery
and vengeance will keep you on the edge of your seat!”
