More about The Tamilization of Ahilan Ratnamohan

Utp presents the world premiere of The Tamilization of Ahilan Ratnamohan, a personal story about reminiscence, loss and language fascination. 

Ahilan attempts the performance entirely in Tamil, a language he didn’t learn as a child. His mother, sits next to him on stage, becomes his teacher, encouraging and prompting him. Ahilan traces the roots of this language loss to its rediscovery.
