KATHAKALI


Kathakali is performed to a live musical accompaniment.The accompanists stand on the stage a little away from the performing artists.The make is elaborate and much stylised along with colourful costumes that it is almost impossible to recognise the artist in normal clothes even if you have watched him perform one whole night.Kathakali's means of communication are very structured.So,one certainly needs to have a clear idea of the form to understand or follow a performance.
