Kathakali |
|
Kathakali is one of the oldest theatre
forms in the World. It originated in the area of southwestern
India now known as the State of Kerala. Kathakali is a group
presentation, in which dancers take various roles in
performances traditionally based on theme from Hindu
mythology, especially the two epics, the Ramayana and the
Mahabharata.
|
 |
|
One of the most interesting aspects of Kathakali is its elaborate make-up code. Characters are categorized
according to their nature. This determines the colours
used in the mark-up. The faces of noble male characters,
such as virtuous kings, the divine hero Rama, are predominantly green.
Extremely angry or excessively evil characters wear
predominantly red make-up and a flowing red beard. Forest
dwellers such as hunters are represented with a predominantly
black make-up base. Woman and ascetics have lustrous,
yellowish faces.
The artists wear large
head dresses, and the contours of the face are extended with
molded lime. The extraordinary costumes and make-up serve to
raise the participants above the level of mere mortals, so
that they may transport the audience to a world of wonders. |

Mohiniyattam |
|
Mohiniyattam is a feminine
classical dance from of Kerala, literally meaning the Dance of
the Enchantress. Feminity, Grace [Lasya] and Beauty [Sringara]
form the quintessence of this dance form. The word ‘Mohini’
means a maiden who steals the art of the onlooker. There is
well known story of Lord Vishnu taking the guise of a ‘Mohini’
to enthrall people, both in connection with the churning of
the milk ocean and with the episode of slaying of Bhasmasura.
|
 |
|
The theme of Mohiniyattam is love and devotion to god.
Vishnu or Krishna is more often the hero. It is a fusion of
highly stylized and male monopolized Kathakali and the rigid Bharatanatyam. The repertoire of Mohiniyattam follows closely
that of Bharatanatyam. |

|
|
Theyyam |
|
Theyyam/Thira of Malabar is one
of the most popular ritualistic dances of Kerala. This is a
devotional performing, in symbols and presentations. One can
see the
divine
power through the person
performing the Theyyam. All the dancing Theyyams are gods of
different origin. We can see and pray god and dead
respectable persons in Theyyam.
|
 |
|

worship, Gods, goddesses, demi-gods, epic characters, demons,
spirits, lower animals like snakes, great ancestors and heroic
men are worshipped through Theyyam. |
