Traditional Indian theatre and Kabuki: a passage towards a total theatre

Author: Choudhuri, Indra Nath

Keywords: Kabuki
Theater--Japan

Issue Date: 1983

Publisher: Sangeet Natak Akademi, New Delhi

Description: Traditional Indian Theatre like Kootiyattam, Kathakali, Yakshagana, Jatra etc., belonging to different regions of India, is related to village (folk) community and classical Sanskrit theatre to the urban sophistication, but both these theatre forms are interrelated with each other-both affecting and continue to affect one another. Kabuki, like traditional Indian theatre came into flower in the 17th century. It can be termed as the popular live drama of Japan to distinguish it from the puppet drama or Joruri and from the Noh play, which from its fixed repertory and partial simplicity might well be called the classical drama of Japan. This paper deals with three aspects of these two theatres: stylization, participation and total theatre.
