Twenty years after her last recital, 68-year-old Hymavathi Raveendran will apply chutti (facial make-up of Kathakali) to play Lord Krishna of Kuchelavritham Kathakali on January 7.
“Happiness!” says Hymavathi when asked about how she feels about returning to the stage. “There is nervousness as the years have gone by. I hope we are able to live up to expectations but the dominant feeling is of excitement.”
