Boundaries of the Text Epic Performances in South and Southeast Asia - Michigan Papers On South And Southeast Asia

26.89£

Publisher: University of Michigan Press

Author: Joyce Flueckiger

When the Mahabharata and Ramayana are performed in South and Southeast Asia, audiences may witness a variety of styles. A single performer may deliver a two-hour recitation, women may meet in informal singing groups, shaddow puppets may host an all-night play, or professional theaters may put on productions lasting thirty nights. Performances often celebrate ritual passages: births, deaths, marriages, and religious observances. The stories live and are transmitted through performance; their characters are well known and well loved.
