Maarai Kaatha Maveerar – Pasiyoor, Jaffna
This particular Koothu has a rich
history dating back 200 years. The Koothu depicts the story of Joseph Vaz the
Catholic missionary who travelled from Goa to Sri Lanka. The story begins with
his arrival in Jaffna and his trials and tribulations while on mission in the
country. This Koothu has been written, performed and brought to life by Baladas
from Pasiyoor. Baladas has grown up with this particular religious art form and
considers it a part of his life mission to ensure its continuation throughout
the generations.The Catholic Koothu is composed by charming Ragas, and
appropriate dances. The performances were well appreciated by the spectators
whenever it was performed.
