A 22-year-old young performer is on a mission to keep ‘nokkuvidya pavakali’ (നോക്കു വിദ്യ പാവകളി), a unique form of traditional puppetry of Kerala, alive. The performer KS.Renjini has learnt the art from her grandmother, Padma Shri Moozhikkal Pankajakshi. The uniqueness of this form of puppetry is that the puppets are hoisted on a two-feet long stick that the artist balances by placing it between her nose and the upper lip.
