Tamizhin Kathai – A journey in Language and time

During the pandemic, while many of us obsessed over the perfect rise of sourdough bread or hand-wrestled other shoppers over the last roll of toilet paper, Bharatanatyam exponent Nirupama Vaidhyanathan buried herself completely in her personal passion – Tamizh literature. Over the past three years, she read only Tamizh books, novels, commentaries, and poetry.

It was a complete immersion.

What emerged from this submersion was a novel, extraordinary storytelling idea – Tamizhin Kathai: The Story of Tamizh – the biography of a language, its literature, and history interpreted through dance. Tamizhin Kathai transports its audience back in time to 2500 years ago and then gradually weaves its way to the modern era.

The Story of Tamil made its debut on April 1st at the Sunnyvale Community Center in Sunnyvale.
