Kuzhebar shadow theater piece

Posted on December 4th, 2007 by jsurba.

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

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.
