Kutiyattam, India's only living traditional Sanskrit theatre, has
been continually performed in Kerala for at least a thousand years.
The actors and drummers create an entire world in the empty space
of the stage by using spectacular costumes and make-up and by an
immensely rich interplay of words, rhythms, mime, and gestures.
This volume focuses on Mantrankam and Anguliyankam, the two great
masterpieces of Kutiyattam. It provides fundamental general remarks
and relates them to pan-Indian reflections on aesthetics,
philology, ritual studies, and history. Authored by scholars and
active Kutiyattam performers, this is the first attempt to bring
together a set of sustained, multi-faceted interpretations of these
masterpieces-in-performance. With an aim to open up this ancient
art form to readers interested in South Indian culture, religion,
theatre and performance studies, philology as well as literature,
this volume offers a new way to access a major art form of
pre-modern and modern Kerala.
