காவியத்தலைவன் | The Legend

To begin with, it takes great pride to see the art of drama which started in the era of kings continues till date through centuries. Its also a worthy mention to share with you all that the art of acting in our country started this way.

 

The art of Drama / Stage shows have always been a cultural part of India and are always related to the Legendary epics, eg., Ramayana and Mahabharatha.

 

In this case the series is about Mahabharatha happening every year around the Legendary city of Kanchipuram, the home place of the Pallavas. This series was shot @ Ocheri. The play took place throughout a week every day from dusk to dawn and I was very unlucky to watch only a night's play.

 

With actors of current age struggling to make a good performance in a single movie, a group of few people (may be 10 max) play all the characters to be done (just imagine only the very important characters in Mahabharatha). After completion of a character, they go backstage, remove the make-up, switch on to the next make-up, and prepare themselves for the next role to be enacted. Each and every Artist do their work themselves.

 

It was an interesting night altogether with a great experience.
