The dancer sings a verse that is repeated by his musical assistant. The dancer brings out the meaning of the verses through facial expressions, hand gestures and bodily postures. He keeps on shifting from the role of the narrator to that of the actor with incredible artistic effect.

Thullal is also a genre of poetry in Malayalam, which supposedly inspired the songs for Thullal dance. Throughout the two-hour gripping performance, the dance element predominates over the song. The songs are based on the classical principles of Naatya Saastra, a treatise on art dating back to 2nd century BC. The dancer executes some vigorous foot steps and rhythmic movement of the body to make the dance lively. They express emotions pertaining mainly to valor, humor, pathos, anger and devotion through the dance.
