Chavittunatakom
A Christian art form of Kerala. Evolved at the turn of the
16th Century AD during the Portuguese colonization and bears
definite traces of the European Christian Miracle Play.
In this musical drama, the actors wear Greco-Roman costumes
and even the stage props bear several foreign influences.
In the past, the Chavittunatakom was performed on open stages,
though sometimes the interior of a church was also a venue.
The language is a colloquial mix of Tamil and Malayalam.
