Kerala is the home of several dance drama forms and
kathakali is one of the most popular dance drama forms
And the war between the Good and Evil is never ending In the
battle of one’ s life
Where Gods and Demons come to play ....that is what Kathakali all about.
An actor with a red mask is evil and he usually represents
Ravana , Dushasana etc.An actor with green mask represents good usually
representing Arjuna , Krishna , Rama etc
Today's theme was not Good Vs Evil , today's theme was Krishna -Rukmini Romance and it was awesome..
Initially Kathakali was performed in temples and it is majorly a temple martial art , now popular all over the world
A blend of art , music and acting to dramatize a story
Conducted by the Kerala Nair community .
The Traditional Nairs and Pillai’s of Kerala were
professionally warriors (Kshatriya) who were trained in Martial Art and
exercises . A Kshatriya should always represent excellence as a warrior, should
represent Good over Evil. In this case there is no evil , but evil was In the
Mind of the character , hence both the characters are green in colour else red always represents evil and green represents good.
And the romance begins..
The story is that Krishna and Rukmini make love to bring a new creature a new very small life into the world..Isn't that so cute..
Me with Krishna, iam always on the side of Green representing Good..
Kathakali unlike other dance forms became very popular in the world because the artist spends his entire life learning the philosophy
of ancient Indian Epics known as Ramayana and Mahabharata making the artist a
man who not only knows dance and art but also understands Indian History and
Culture making Kathakali the capital of all Theater forms of the entire world
The Dancer expresses himself through the facial expressions
along with the feet movement.
Make up applied from herbs .
