KATAHKALI

 

Shared by Jose Mª Ureta:

I was in India in 1992, attracted by a dance called Kathakali. My first contact with it was in Paris. "La Cartoucherie" a theater run by Arianne Mnoucchskine was performing "Les Atrides", based on texts written by Aeschylus and Euripides. Here you are a sample.  At the beginning, the actor is Brontis Jorodowsky, son of the famous Alejandro Jorodowsky. Do not miss the Chorus entrance (1:40). The dresses and make up are totally influenced by Kathakali dance.
