Dynamism and creativity of an immaterial heritage: the oral transmission in Bharata-Natyam Dance Theater (Mysore, India)
Keywords:
Transculturality, Immaterial Heritage, Theater and Dance, India Theater, Bharata-NâtyamAbstract
Researchers interested in the heritage of dance-theater in India face a major obstacle: oral transmission, as written and audiovisual archives are extremely rare. They need professional training to access research materials and to interpret it. The case study of the Mysore Bharata-Natyam style involves this kind of participatory observations by the researcher-artist and demonstrates how the vitality of this
heritage depends on the creativity of each local and individual transmission – related to its social, aesthetic, religious and political context – therefore, not on works considered complete and recognized by a national or international public.
