Kathakali Dancer. This dance is very traditional in Kerala, India. It's a micture of theater, literature, poetry, dance, music. The training takes 8-10 years to become a Kathakali dancer. Just the make up before performance takes 1.5 hours.
Wow, stunning transformation. It must have been quite fascinating just watching them. It looks like hot work too, the sweat adding texture to the make-up effect!
Hope you've been well, as it's been ages since you posted on Usefilm?
