LITERATURE

Thus, the strong cultural bond cultivated during the programmes is continued. The TrikonE Culutural Foundation has so far produced nearly fifteen documentaries including special “Theatre Education” series dedicated to cover theatrical traditions in both Sinhala and Tamil communities such as “Kooththu”, a dancing tradition in Vadukkodai, introduced by Prof. K. Sivathamby and the complete drama of “Ravanesan” which is available in three languages.

The documentaries cover mainly the similarities and dissimilarities between the Tamil traditional drama and Sinhala traditional drama. For instance, “The Drums of Sri Lanka” explores traditional drums both in the South and the North-East.
