Kuzhebar shadow theater piece

Posted on December 4th, 2007 by jsurba.
Categories: Ancient Kuzhebar, drums, Kuzhebar, music instruments, video.

Traditional Kuzhebar Shadow theater piece devoted to a winter solstice performed by Nadishana and Julia Surba at Maultrommel Festival, Leipzig.

A shadow play is an ancient form of storytelling and entertainment. The performance involves the projection of light or fire on a white screen, on which performers use figures or puppets to produce shadows. It is popular in various cultures, f.e. in Indonesia, Thailand, China, Taiwan, Turkey, Persia and Greece.
In Ancient Kuzhebar the shadow theatre was usually a part of ritual celebrations such as solstice and moon rituals. Traditionally the shadow play was shown near the fire place inside a big frame drum (Buben, Tungur) and was synchronized with the drummer playing.
Here you can see a shadow theater piece devoted to a winter solstice.
Music : Vladiswar Nadishana
Shadow theater: Julia Surba
The aim of this project is to rebuild and to develope the kuzhebarian tradition of shadow theater.

Dragons’ fight on Davul

Posted on October 12th, 2007 by jsurba.
Categories: Ancient Kuzhebar, design, drums, henna painting, music instruments.

You can listen to the sounds of Kuzhebarian dragons’ fight when Jean from the group vermaledeyt.de will play his davul. Kuzhebar Design had decorated for him this beautiful drum made by David&Roman with henna painting.

Dragons were reputed in Ancient Kuzhebar to be very powerful and tricky, who came to play their own plays between people. This picture on davul depicts the fight between two dragons: a flying and a walking one. They are desperately fighting for a magic power. The walking dragon had won and is carring in its hands the symbol of power.

Dear friends! I´m happy to present you the result of creative cooperation of
different artists:
– great framedrum makers: David and Roman from David&Roman Percussion
– the amazing percussion palyer: David Kuckhermann
– the unique composer: Vladiswar Nadishana
and the pyrographer: me, Julia Surba

The result of our collaboration is a new tuneable frame drum with pyrography
design on it, which is awaken to its music life by David Kuckhermann. The
pyrography procecc was filmed and edited by Vladiswar Nadishana, who also
composed the song “Cae RO” which is used like a soundtrack to the film.
I think we all enjoyed our collaboration and now want to share this joy with
you. So, don´t waste the time: watch, listen, have fun!
