Paperback. Condition: New. Explores the cultural dynamics of this ancient form of Sanskrit theater.Ku?iya??am, an ancient form of Sanskrit theater from Kerala, was traditionally performed only in temples by members of two temple assistant castes. Today, however, it has spread to other castes and to venues outside temples. It is a fantastically complex, sophisticated, layered performance, toiling at amassing and perfecting ways of materializing a world where gods, demons, and mythical heroes live, bringing the audience into these other realities. Taking an anthropological approach, Awakening a Living World on a Ku?iya??am Stage explores how Ku?iya??am uses cultural dynamics, gleaned from temple ritual and theater, to remove the distinctions between mundane reality and the mediaeval plays being performed on stage. The unique features of Ku?iya??am-makeup masks, enthralling drumming, delivering words in mudra gestures, a shimmering lamp, male and female actors-all intertwine to animate stories from the great Indian eposes. Analyzing the cultural dynamics at work in Ku?iya??am foregrounds a symbolic anthropology in which representation and symbols are shunned, while endless repetitions fill the stage with reverberating somatic intensities of profound depth. Thus, a new kind of living reality emerges that includes the protagonists of the play-gods, demons, humans, animals, and objects-together with the artist, the audience, and beyond.
