Abstract

The A. explores the relationship between the performing art KaaLiyaaTTam and the life history of person performing it to find if the relationship influences the performing art, and if so, how. On the basis of data collected through participant observation in many areas of Tamil Nadu and interviews with performers, he shows that KaaLiyaaTTam is closely related to the life of the performer. He also argues that the benefits of the performance for performers is not economic but psychological. The A. concludes that there is a mutually influential relationship between the performance of KaaLiyaaTTam and its performer.
