*Kerala's Kūṭiyāṭṭam Sanskrit Theater: Language, Culture, and Embodied
Cosmopolitanism*

What can a traditional theater form reveal about the relationship between
language, culture, and performance? Kūṭiyāṭṭam, Kerala's temple tradition
of staging Sanskrit drama, is among the world's oldest living theater forms
and is recognized by UNESCO as part of humanity's intangible cultural
heritage. Dr. Lowthorp will explore this tradition's embodied
cosmopolitanism and the cultural connections it carries across languages,
regions, and centuries.

(Tuesday, November 3: 10:00 PM EST · 9:00 PM CST · 7:00 PM PST | Wednesday,
