Yo quiero verte danzar
Como derviche tourneurs que giran,
Sobre la espina dorsal
Al son de los cascabeles,
Del Kathakali.

This image captures a Kathakali artist applying intricate facial makeup in preparation for a performance in Cochin, Kerala, India. Camera: NIKON E885. Kathakali is a classical Indian dance-drama known for its elaborate costumes and thick makeup that takes hours to apply. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathakali In Kathakali, the makeup known as Chutti (ചുട്ടി) is both symbolic and artistic. It goes beyond mere decoration; the colors and patterns are carefully designed to represent and distinguish various character types Green (പച്ച): This base color represents noble and heroic characters who embody virtue, such as kings, divine beings, and idealized heroes. Red and Black Accents (കത്തി and കരി): These are used to depict villainous or demonic characters. Kathi (knife) characters are anti-heroes or arrogant villains, while Kari (black) denotes demons or forest-dwelling evil beings. Soft Yellow or Orange (മിനുക്കു): Typically applied to female characters or sages, this coloring signifies gentleness, spirituality, and inner peace.

A #kathakali dancer performing in Kochi, India for this week's #alphabetchallenge. Watching the performers being made up was part of the show...and it took nearly an hour!

Kathakali

Kathakali is a highly stylized "story-play" genre of art that originated in the southwestern Indian state of Kerala. No words are spoken, the story telling is driven be facial expression, dance, and movement.

This Hanumankind song has been out for a year, and I love it, but I just saw the video today: and it is pure undiluted Kerala.
People with dark skin, curly hair, Banyan trees, kathakali/theyyam performers wilding, kalaripayyattu (the martial artists), chenda (the drums).

6.15 a.m. walking back from Kathakali in the gray dawn ... birds in the sky ... egrets, crows, pigeons ... a peacock in the bare peepul tree ... I pause for a boy crossing the road with a cow

All Will Rise takes place in a speculative city in a sideways reality of Kerala, South India. Our team has drawn inspiration from Kerala's vibrant sunsets and Kathakali masks, and its tropical flora and fauna for our vivid colour palette.

Seriously one of my favorite-ever theatre experiences was a classical Kathakali dance production of "King Lear" at Shakespeare's Globe in London during grad school, and I also saw a great didgeridoo concert in Cairo, I think at the opera house. Fantastic.
