Tala-Maddale
The traditional art of ‘talamaddale’, a variant of Yakshagana theatre.
Unlike the Yakshagana performance, in the conventional ‘talamaddale,’ the artists sit across in a place without any costumes and engage in testing their oratory skills based on the episode chosen.
If music is common for both Yakshagana performance and ‘talamaddale’, the latter has only spoken word without any dance or costumes. Hence it is an art form minus dance, costumes and stage conventions.
‘arthadhari’ is a talamaddale artist who is an orator.
The plot and content of the conversation is drawn from popular mythology but the performance mainly consists of an impromptu debate between characters involving sarcasm, puns, philosophy positions and humour.
The art form is popular in Karnataka and Kasaragod district of Kerala.
The medium of communication is normally Kannada language
