Xpression - GLEYUM CLIYOPATRAYUM

A Solo Performance in Malayalam & English

Presented by Lokadharmi Kochi ||Directed by Dr. Chandradasan

Performed by Arya MK || Music by Salim Nair

Agleyum Cliyopatrayum intertwines the mythic lives of Cleopatra, the iconic Egyptian queen

from Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra, and Egle, a tragic heroine from Lithuanian folklore.

Through the lens of love, power, transformation, and betrayal, the production creates a

poignant, ritualistic theatre experience that transcends boundaries of culture and time.

Informed by Kerala’s Sarpakalam tradition, physical theatre, ritual performance, live

painting, and multilingual storytelling, this solo work is a meditation on feminine agency and metamorphosis.
