Abstract

This contribution deals with some special roles in the Kūṭiyāṭṭam tradition: the Vidūṣaka and the story teller. By giving a description of the story development in Mantrāṅkam, the author, who is an experienced Kūṭiyāttam actress herself, offers some interesting reflections on the development of the figure of the “jester” taking into account the historical background. Indu G. guides us through the structure of the play that continues until the thirty-seventh day and also explains the personal reflections attached to it. As these stories don’t aim at representing a specific historical period, they are not bound either to the present or to the past, and their reflections are not constrained to the ethics or morality of present time. On the other hand they question or mock it. In this sense, if we look at the deep structure, it has the quality to make the audience reconsider their static thinking patterns and make them flexible and vital.
这篇文章涉及Kūṭiyāṭṭam传统中的一些特殊角色:Vidūṣaka和讲故事的人。作者本人是一位经验丰富的Kūṭiyāttam女演员,通过对Mantrāṅkam中故事发展的描述,在考虑历史背景的情况下,对“小丑”这个人物的发展提出了一些有趣的思考。Indu g引导我们通过戏剧的结构,一直持续到第37天,并解释了与之相关的个人反思。由于这些故事的目的不在于表现一个特定的历史时期,它们既不局限于现在,也不局限于过去,它们的反思也不局限于现在的伦理或道德。另一方面,他们质疑或嘲笑它。从这个意义上说,如果我们看深层结构,它具有让观众重新思考他们静态的思维模式并使其变得灵活和有活力的品质。
