The project of ‘Sharing and Documenting Traditional and Religious Norms of Sri Lankan Tamil Community’ is a common platform for the integration of Tamil speaking communities from different background in Sri Lanka. Hence, Noolaham Foundation has identified Koothu (melodrama) as a one of the traditional tool which is share the common values. Then Noolaham Foundation and Tamil Sangam, Norway have joint together to conducted a stage ‘Ravanesan Koothu’ in Colombo with the facilitation of Batticaloa Theatre Lab.

The project’s main event ‘Ravanesan Koothu’ was held at the Ramakrishna Mission Hall, Colombo – 06 on 4th January 2014 with more than 800 spectators. The ‘Ravanesan Koothu’ can be viewed as a great honor and a glimpse at our heritage for Tamil speaking communities in Sri Lanka through these treasury performances. The performance was telecasted in Vasantham TV, and series of special articles were published on Virakesari weekend edition about ‘Ravanesan Koothu’. This is first time the ‘Ravanesan Koothu’ was telecasted in a visual media in Sri Lanka. This online availability of the event will promote the rich heritage of Tamil culture, Tamil language and Tamil enthusiastic around the world.

Noolaham Foundation believes that this project will develop an exposure for the arts which are being practiced by the Sri Lankan Tamil speaking communities.
