We really enjoyed this show. The costumes and make up were very beautiful and unusual to our eyes. The performance was educational and entertaining. We found the theatre comfortable.

Suberb driver for the whole of this tour, accommodated to our needs from start to finish. The guide which we had in Fort Kochi was very knowledgeable and was great with my younger children to stop them getting too bored. The Kathakali dance performance was interesting and definitely worth doing if visiting Kochi, the only issue was, our guide just left us to our own devices at the dance performance so therefore had to find our driver in the dark after the performance. the driver was suberb with this though and was waiting close by the car watching for us, and also recommended and took us to a supermarket on the way back to our hotel.

Arranged in advance by our agents we attended the Kochi cultural theatre to watch the entertaining cultural dance. We had front row reserved seating, and were privy to watching the artistes apply their make up for the show.
With their colourful costumes it was a pleasure to watch the show. There is a moral story to the dance, which would take far too long to explain here. So if in Kochi, take time out to visit this show. You won’t be disappointed in the approx one hour spectacle.
