Govindan Aravindan - The Circus Tent (1978)

[dhrupad]

The anomie and rootlessness of marginal living become the striking metaphor of Thampu (1978), which deals with the roving small-town circus of Kerala. Shot in black and white in a direct documentary mode, the film gives sudden, fleeting insights into the lives of these itinerant entertainers. The film-maker’s effort – and its effect – is poetic and intuitive, rather than sociological. When the circus pitches tent in a village, it is a welcome break for the local populace. But ringside is as close as one should get for the collective entertainment. Beyond that are atomised souls – the forlorn clown, the despondent acrobat, the slipping gymnast. Even as some of them begin to befriend or strike an emotive chord with some of the villagers, it is time to cut loose and shift camp to another village, another small town. Because theirs is a journey with no destination. And so it is as if the film-maker hops on to the circus wagon as it moves into the village, and drops off as it leaves the place. In that slice of space and time what can be attempted is a thumbnail sketch, not a full-blooded portrayal. But the thumbnail touches now and again a raw nerve and then, those flashes of vital truth.

--SASHI KUMAR, Aravindan’s Art (Frontline, June 1989)
