What does the show involve?
Kathakali is the ancient dance of the southern state of Kerala. The performances tell age-old Indian tales through dramatic hand and face gestures and impressive footwork, accompanied by traditional music. The costumes, vivid make up and unique masks worn by the dancers are iconic, with up to four hours required to paint each performer's face.
This blend of different art forms makes Kathakali one of the most symbolic and complex dances in the world. Characters tell intricate stories without spoken words, narrating through movement and music. It is an unforgettable experience!
