The Kitchen wondrously reflects on the intimate relationship between cooking and life. An estranged couple wordlessly confront each other as they go through the rituals of blending ingredients for two large pots of paal payasam, a traditional rice pudding. Behind them sit 12mizhavu temple drummers in a remarkable, multi-level edifice, built to resemble the sacred instrument they play. As the sensuous performance unfolds, the theatre is suffused with palatable aromas and mesmerising drumbeats, actively drawing you in to the intangible conflicts embroiling the couple, their inner selves, and their journey towards reconciliation.

Performance is approx 1.5 hrs in length.
