The deserved holidays of an expat living in Pyongyang

NORTH KOREA | Fri, 26 Jul 2013 | By lucilla | Views [2556] | Comments [2]

I said it in the title, therefore there's no big sicret. I'm Italian, I am really Italian, curly hair, a little bit too touchy and other stereotypes, and I live in Pyongyang, DPRK. But I won't spend a single word talking about the strangest country ... Read more >

24 hour escapes form London

UNITED KINGDOM | Mon, 26 Mar 2012 | By emily_mcd | Views [1199]

With the sun shining and essay (and dissertation) deadlines looming ever closer, all I want to do is get out of the city and forget university stress. Sadly jetting off to Thailand or Barbados to lie on a beach and drink overpriced cocktails isn’t a ... Read more >

Ankiya Bhaona - the theatre

The dramatic art plays of Sattriya called Ankiya Bhona were first written in the 15th century, primarily from episodes of the Mahabaratha and the Ramayana: 6 by Sankaradeva and 6 others by his disciple Madhavadeva.

For the past five centuries this high level theatrical art form unites, without shame, constant devotion to the pleasures of popular leisure. The register is epical and there is succession of scenes: comical, warlike, matrimonial, sung, danced, etc., each one favouring a clear understanding for all. Wisely codified, the actor’s delivery remains transparent. The dramatic rigour never constrains the familiarity of the actors’ interpretation with respect to the characters they portray and their sacred dimension. This is a rare theatrical phenomenon where their natural presence creates a good equilibrium while resisting to the rigours of the actor’s art.

The Ankiya Bhaona are composed of short dialogues interspersed with varied dances, and sung/recited narration (Sutra Katha). These interrupted plays do not have acts or scenes. The characters enter on the bare oblong stage, which represents the temple (namghar). Occasionally, the backdrop opens up on the outside, allowing the lighted vegetation to appear. The notions of time and space are indicated in the songs or the dances.: by colour, Views[1791]
