Theatre & Plays in Trivandrum
1 events coming up across Thiruvananthapuram — mostly theatre (1).
Theatre in Trivandrum runs from Sanskrit drama to street plays. Tagore Theatre in Vazhuthacaud is the main proscenium stage for touring Malayalam productions, festival plays and government drama competitions, and Bharat Bhavan in Thycaud programmes visiting troupes from other states and presents rural theatre awards. The koothambalam at Vyloppilli Samskrithi Bhavan suits Koodiyattam, Kathakali and intimate experimental work. The Soorya Festival includes a theatre segment each year, and Manaveeyam Veedhi near Vellayambalam has been a street-theatre venue since the 1990s, with free performances on many evenings. Amateur groups, campus drama clubs and children's theatre camps add productions through the year, mostly in Malayalam, with occasional English and multilingual plays at Alliance Française. This page lists plays, drama festivals and street theatre in Thiruvananthapuram, updated daily.
