Kathakali 3 - the Passionate Love Lyrics Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon
Kathakali 3 - the Passionate Love Lyrics
The Poignant love stories of Kathakali,
Enacted through the passionate lyrics of
Endearing, beautiful Malayalam language,
Enables the audience to be carried away to a heavenly realm!
The lingering melody of ‘Sopanam' music,
The rendering of exotic ‘Raagas' by the singers,
The dancers depicting the sentiments through gestures,
Takes the audience through a journey of unbelievable ecstasy!
A dance drama with several characters in the story,
Yet, dancers are given ample opportunity to show their talent,
With long, solo enactment, accompanied by music and drum beats,
Winning laurels for their performance of high artistry and virtuosity!
The portrayal of Sri Krishna in many episodes of Mahabharata,
Is mesmerising with the elaborate make up of ‘Paccha' or green,
Adorned by a fabulous crown of peacock feathers, embracing Rukmini- His beloved,
With eyes and brows dancing with delicate, subtle expressions of love!
A dance drama with several characters in the story, Yet, dancers are given ample opportunity to show their talent, With long, solo enactment, accompanied by music and drum beats, Winning laurels for their performance of high artistry and virtuosity! .....these are really beautiful so well penned.
It's so nice that you have taken up the subject about which we have little knowledge though, Kathakali is India's one of the foremost classical dance forms. Thanks, Geeta ji.
Thank you, for introducing me to the subtle aspects of Indian dancing and the poetical expression of it!
The lingering melody of ‘Sopanam' music really enriches the mind. This poem gives us brief knowledge about Kathakali. A great poem is nicely penned.
Though it is a form of a dance but it is more than that, it has story, acting, artful and skillful presentation and icing on the cake is music associated with it. Geeta Ji this is an excellent presentation. Nothing less than 5***
Indeed they express so well with brows and eyes dancing. I love the Kathakali dance performance.
The portrayal of Sri Krishna in many episodes of Mahabharata, Is mesmerising with the elaborate make up of ‘Paccha' or green, Adorned by a fabulous crown of peacock feathers, embracing Rukmini- His beloved, With eyes and brows dancing with delicate, subtle expressions of love!
