Chanced upon this poem a while ago,thought its a total fit for this post.
We dance for laughter,
We dance for tears,
We dance for madness,
We dance for fears,
We dance for hopes,
We dance for screams,
We are the dancers,
We create the dreams.
We dance for laughter,
We dance for tears,
We dance for madness,
We dance for fears,
We dance for hopes,
We dance for screams,
We are the dancers,
We create the dreams.
If you haven't seen a Kathakali performance in the flesh its something you must do!!Flamboyant costumers,wild wild make up,brilliant emotions and sheer passion is what each performance is.I'd been lucky to have caught a couple of performances in the past and each on blew my away.
Us pseudo mallus sometimes find our way back to our roots so here's a Kathakali dancer kettle paying homage to the culturally rich and vibrant land i hail from.
