Indian arts of the theater

The arts of the theater of India can be divided in Yakshagana, puppetry and dances. Yakshagana represents a religious history with the aid of delivery and music of the dialog. A titiritero used the figures guinea fowl done outside the red deers or of the goat skin, generally, that is moved by spiral threads and the sequence tied them. The dances have agents expressing of a situation with the face expression in sinc. with a singer whom the story along with music narrates to use the instruments such as veena and table. From expressions to play a role vital, eyes are standing out, because they are the key in this type of art of the theater.

“Yakshagana” is a sánscrita word for the celebration of celestials. This art of the theater includes drama, the song and the dance. It began basically like popular art. The agents take a nomadic life generally, traveling from a village to another one with their baggage. They at night stopped in temples and the adjustment his stage for the operation the following day. The villagers collect the following day to watch this group of execution of the agents of the man 15-20. The epics of Hindu mythology are decreed to use colorful maquillaje and suits. Since a part of this package are no females, the masculine suit that uses the feminine suit, also decrees feminine papers. Which is hoped that to the executants they are realized sometimes through day and through the night, for must require portions of vigor to precede of the game with the night. The mythological figures meet like “Kimpurushas”, agent of known lead as they know “Kattu-veshas” and to the bandits supposed like “Kiratas”. One does not hope that to the hearings they pay to any thing this hospitality; the agents are money provided with the bottoms of the temple for a life.

The artists of Yakshagana were also those that are for presenting/displaying to people to puppetry. The figures guinea fowl done of the leather were made to move with the small sticks and the sequences. The stage was done with a white translucent cloth in which the images of the dance of marionettes were projected with the aid of the ignited oil lamps. Histories of the writings, the sacred Hindu Ramayan and the Mahabharata appear to the hearing. The titiritero gives the voice generally; their wife and cabritos to provide the voice for other characters of the marionette demonstration assemble also it. Basic music also mixes with history with the aid of the Indian instruments such as harmonium or a Mukha-veena. It is also invited to the titiriteros that are realized sometimes special like birth, the union and the death. The argument of its game depends on the occasion, as in birthday decree “Krishna Leela” or the numeritos of Krishna, in weddings realize “Girija Kalyana” or the wedding of Girija and in burials realizes “Swargarohana” or the ascent to the sky.

These operations not only have a value of the hospitality but also they have ritualista meaning. Some agents take a vote to realize these games to obtain please returned from their deities as good harvest, abundant rain, or the end to their miseries.

There are varieties of dances in India only. Each state of this country has its own unique style in the expression, gestures, style of the maquillaje and I brought. In fact, they have named God Nataraja, that is created to be one of the forms of Mr. Shiva, like the supreme creator of the Indian dance. The famous forms of the Indian peninsula dance are Odissi, Bharatnatiyam, Katthakali, Kuchipudi, and Mohini Attam that are realized in diverse regions of the country.
