katakali makeup (from kochin)


in general, the makeup serves to emphasize the eye and facial movements, by which the artist expresses emotions. the skirts help make the characters appear larger than life.on the whole, the extraordinary makeup and dressing serve to take katakali out of the world of realistic theatre and into the world of legend and myth with its super human-beings and extra-natural happenings.
