Volume One - Asia
Kathakali
Dancing, Varkala, Southern India
A
Dallas style script of deceit, love and mistrust is translated into one
look, one roll of the eye and one percussive twitch of an arm. The Indian
art of body language mocks the complicated storylines and expensive sets
of Hollywood movies. There are no commercial breaks here as the athletically
bendy and intricately painted faces of the Kathakali dancers twitch and
jerk their story into the buzzing and chirping night; a universal story
told with a universal language.
