What I Need to Know

Theatre or theater is a collaborative form of performing art that uses live performers,
typically actors or actresses, to present the experience of a real or imagined event before a
live audience in a specific place, often a stage. It is also called a stage play.
Asian Theater arts are live performances, with actors or puppets. It is a combination of
storytelling, music, mime, dance with the used of masks, makeup, props and costume,
scenery and script. Thus, it reflects the culture, religious beliefs, and lifestyle of a
country/community.

What Is It
Southeast Asian Theater
A. Nang Shadow Puppets

It was one form of public entertainment in the south of Thailand. It is still very popular at
festivals, temple fairs, and celebrations such as marriages. They are delicately colored, but
this does not show during a performance as the puppets appear only in shadow against a
white sheet, with light shining through from behind. They are manipulated with rods that
control movements of the arms and legs. And usually performed during the country’s dry
season (February to August).

Performances have a religious theme or have an episode from the Ramayana epic which
holds dozens of individual stories.

They may also be specially written to

include up-to-date minute’s reflections
songs, and poems about local events and
matters of current interest in the district or
country.

1
 There are hundreds of different characters each with distinctive shadow, but show
will always include a clown, funny old man, scatter-brained old woman, or rather stupid
yokel, who are all great favorites with the fun-loving audiences.

Mr. Suchart Sapsin – a man of many talents. He is not only an expert in the craft of
making puppets he is also an award-winning writer and poet. He is a narrator, speaking or
singing all the parts using different voices and he is a superb mimic.

Two Types of Nang

1. Nang Talung- is played with leather puppets, each representing a separate

character, about 50cm high. They usually movable, joined arm controlled by a string.
2. Nang Yai- is normally made of cowhide rattan, a large, decorated scenes and
characters measuring around two meters high and a meter wide. They do not have
joined arms, but the themes and styles remain the same.

Nai Nang- teacher and presenter of the Nang Talung. It is the Nai Nang’s responsibility to
act as an intermediary between the community and the gods, thus the Nang and its
producers are highly respected and greatly entwined into Thailand’s culture fiber.

Nang recites tales of the gods and contemporary people through stories of love, current
events, and tradition. The shadow puppets used in Nang represent the norms and more of
Thai society. The Nang attempts to relay to the audience the importance of Thai values and
ideologies in a changing world, however, the mystical and historical events remain
fundamental in all performances. The association with karma and the underlying message
of rewards and punishments act as allegories for Buddhist morality and philosophy.

B. Wayang Kulit (Indonesia)

The Indonesian wayang kulit is one of the most well-known puppet theater arts in the world.
Wayang refer to kinds of puppet theaters, sometimes itself is referred to as wayang. Kulit
means skin and refers to the leather
construction of the puppets that are carefully
shaped with very fine tools and supported
with carefully shaped buffalo horn handles
and control rods. Performances of shadow
puppet theaters are accompanied by a
Gamelan orchestra in Java, and by Gender
Wayang in Bali. Wayang can be in form of
wayang golek (rod puppets), wayang klitik
(flat wood puppet), wayang orang (human
puppets), and wayang gedog (masked
human puppets).

2
The stories are usually drawn from the Hindu epics:
1. Ramayana
2. Mahabharata
3. Serat Menak- a story about heroism of Amir Hamza

Wayang Kulit Performance- consist of sahdows cast on a cotton screen and an oil lamp.
The white screen symbolizes the universe where natives go on with their live. The screen’s
brighter side is a representation of the material world, and the darkest side symbolizes the
afterlife. The oil lamp, called the blencong, often takes the shape of the mythical bird
Garuda. The lamp symbolizes the sun rays needed by all living things.

 In Java, most often used as a light source is a halogen electric light

 Wayang Sandosa has employed spot lights, colored lights and other innovation.

Elements of performance:

 The puppeteer – dhalang(Java) /dalang(Bali)

 A hammer used by the dalang to knock on the puppet box, Cempala metal plates
that the dalang hits with his foot, kepyak
 A traditional Indonesian orchestra- gamelan
 A light source- blencong
 Female singers and a male chorus
 A screen frame and a screen, gawang and kelir; the main focus of the performance
 Banana logs, degebog; the pointed sticks of wayang base handle pierce the peeled
trunk of a banana tree and the spongy substance holds the puppet in place
 A puppet box, kothak

China is known for their traditional theater art form, the Peking Opera or Beijing Opera
which combines music, vocal performances, dance, and acrobatics. It started in the late 18 th
century and became fully developed and recognized
by the mid – 19th century. During the Qing Dynasty

3

of China.

https://bit.ly/39qOkQi

Visual Performance Elements:

Peking Opera performers utilize four skills.

1. Song
2. Speech
3. Dance-acting – this includes pure dance, pantomime, and all other types of dance
4. Combat – includes both acrobatics and fighting with all manner of weaponry.

Xiaohualian - (pretty painted face) a small patch of chalk on and around the nose. Clowns
of traditional drama who wears this special make up show a mean and secretive character.

Aesthetic Aims and Principles of Movements:

 The highest aim of performers in Peking opera is to put beauty into every motion.
 The art form, gestures, settings, music and character types are determined by long
held conventions.
 Coventions of movements: - Walking in a large circle symbolizes traveling a long
distance; Character- straightening his or her costume and headdress symbolizes that
an important character is about to speak; Pantomimic- opening and closing of doors
and mounting and descending of stairs.

*There are two kinds of makeup applied by the performers are masks and facial paintings.
There is special technique that involves the frequent onstage change of masks, called the
“changing faces”, that the audience barely notices.

B. Kabuki (Japan)

9
 Kabuki is a form of traditional Japanese drama with highly stylized song, mime, and
dance, now performed only by male actors that evolved in Japan in the early 17 th century.
Japanese, originally as a verb meaning “act dissolutely”, later interpreted as ka- song, bu-
dance and ki- art/skill.

Kabuki Theater is known for the stylization of its drama and for the elaborate make up
worn by some of its performers called kumadori. Kabuki is therefore sometimes translated
as the “art of singing and dancing”. Since the word kabuki believed to be derive from the
verb kabubu, meaning “to lean” or “to be out of the ordinary”, kabuki can be “bizarre”
theater. The expression kabukimono referred originally to those who were bizarrely
dressed and paraded on the street.

Kabuki stage features:

 Hanamichi- a flower path, a walkway

which extends to the audience and via
which dramatic entrances and exits are
made; Okuni also perform in this stage
with her entourage.
 Kogakudo- kabuki treaters that have
stages both in front of the audience and
along the sides help create a bond
/between the actors and the viewers. https://musicalsonline.com/kabuki-theatre/

 Mawaro butal- the interior of the theater contains a revolving stage

 Suppon- a platform that rises from below the stage
 Hanamicho- a walkway that cuts through the audience setting area to connect the
stage with the back of the theater.
 Magicians and supernatural beings- often make their entrance from trap doors in
hanamachi
 Some stages have 17 trapdoors.

Three main categories of Kabuki play:

 Jidai-mono- historical, or pre-sengoku periods story

 Sewa-mono- domestic, or post-Sengoku stories; focused primarily upon commoners
 Shosagoto- dance pieces

Elements of Kabuki:

10
  Mie- in which the actor holds a picturesque pose to establish his character and his
house name yago, is sometimes heard is a loud shout (kakegoe) fro expert
audience member, serving both to express and enhance the audience’s appreciation
of the actor’s achievement. An even greater compliment can be paid by shouting the
name of the actor’s father (Kesho).
 Two main categories of actors: Onna-gata- female roles and; Aragoto- male roles

The play occupies five acts:

 Jo, an auspicious and slow opening which introduces the audience to the
characters and the plot
 Ha, speeding events up, culminating almost always in a great moment of drama
 Tragedy in the third act and possibly a battle in the second and/or fourth acts
 Kyu, is almost always short, providing a quick and satisfying conclusion

Other Japanese theater forms:

 Noh – is Japan’s oldest form of musical theater. The story is told not just through
dialogue but also through other forms, such as utai (singing), hayashi (musical
accompaniment), and mai (dance). The Noh involves the use of slow movements,
poetic language, monotonous tones, and rich and heavy costumes. Narratives are
based on Japanese legends, history, literature, and contemporary events. The
characters in a Noh are played by male performers. The characters played the shite or
the leading character, the waki or the supporting actor, the hayashi or the musicians,
the juitai or the chorus, and the koken or the stage attendants. One feature of Noh is
that the leading actor, dressed in a colorful costume of embroidered silk, usually wears
a lacquered wooden mask. The mask can depict character such as an old man, a
young or old woman, a divine figure, a ghost, and a young boy. The audience is also
given sense of what character is being portrayed through mask.
 Kyogen- is a type of classical Japanese comic theater performed with highly stylized
actions and lines. It is staged between Noh performances, or as a comic relief from
more solemn or serious acts of Noh, although it is now sometimes performed in its own
right. Unlike Noh performers, kyogen performers do not typically wear masks. Kyogen
also tends to attract commoners, whereas the Noh is popular among the elite.
 B
unr
ako
- the

11
 Japanese puppet theater which became popular at the end of 16 th century, is a kind of
puppet theater. Bunraku is performed to the accompaniment of narrative singing and
music played on the shamisen ( a three-stringed instrument). The Bunraku is known as
one of the world’s most refined forms of puppet theater.

Asian region.

Southeast Asian Festivals

A. Sky Lantern Festival (Thailand)
The Sky Lantern is held not just in the
country but also in China, Taiwan, and other
neighboring countries. This event is about
the launching of lanterns which are actually

13
small hot air balloons. Each release of a sky lantern is a petition, small prayer or good
wishes of the person who released the lantern. This event is held on the full moon of the
12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar. In the Western calendar this is usually falls
in November.

https://bit.ly/2Bw86NL

Other Festivals Celebrated in Thailand:

a. Loy Krathong or Loi Krathong – Loi/Loy literal meaning means “to float”, while
krathong refers to the lotus-shaped receptacle which can float on the water. Originally, the
krathong was made of banana leaves or the layer of the trunk of a bana tree or a spider lily
plant. The Festival is believed to originate in an ancient practice of paying respect to the
spirit of the water. The tradition is said to have begun in the 13 th century when a young
queen made a small boat adorned with candles and sent it down the river. It is a ritual
honoring Phra Mae Kongka, the
goddess of water. The construction
of colorful boats was a way of not
only giving thanks for the abundance
of water but also a way to seek
forgiveness for overuse and
pollution. The event takes place on
the evening of the full moon of the
12th month in the traditional Thai
lunar calendar which falls on
November in western calendar. https://bit.ly/2DakuTP

b. Songkran Festival – One of the Thailand’s well-known cultural festivals, is a celebration

of the Buddhist New Year. Beginning in April,
the festival is when revelers go to Thailnd’s
major streets and engage in the biggest
“friendly” water fight in the world. This
friendly throwing of water, which symbolizes
Songkran’s spring-cleaning aspect, is also

14
considered a means to pay respect to others. Traditionally, the rubbing of talc or chalk is
also practiced by monks for blessing.
https://bit.ly/3g4ohRl

B. Balinese Dance Festival- Balinese dances are a very ancient dance tradition that is a
part of the religious and artistic expression among Balinese people. In Hinduism, Dance is
an accompaniment to the perpetual dissolving and reforming of the world. The creative and
productive balance is often personified as Shiva’s wife, Durga, sometime called Uma,
Parvati, or Kali. This has significance in
Balinese Hinduism, since the common
figure of Rangla is similar in many ways to
Durga. There are various categories of
dance, including epic performances such
as the universal Mahabharata and
Ramayana. The articulations in the face,
eyes, hands, arms, hips, and feet are
coordinated to reflect layers of percussive
sounds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balinese_dance

East Asian Festival

A. Chinese Festival
a. Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Chinese calendar.
The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of
several myths and traditions. Chinese New Year is also known as “Spring Festival’, the
literal translation of the Chinese name Chunjie, since the spring season in Chinese calendar
starts with lichun, the first letter solar term in a Chinese calendar year. The festival begins
on the first day of the month in the traditional Chinese alendar and ends with the Lantern
Festival which is on the 15th day.

b. Dragon Dance- a form of traditional dance and performance in Chinese culture. It is

the highlight of Chinese New Year celebration held worldwide in Chinatowns around the
world. The dragon symbolizes power, strength, and good luck. The dance team mimics the
supposed movements of this river spirit in a
flowing, rise and fall manner. The
movements in performance traditionally
symbolize historical roles of dragons’

15
demonstrating power and dignity. Dragons are believed to bring good luck to people, which
are reflected in their qualities that include great power, dignity, fertility,
wisdom, and prosperity.

B. Kodo Taiko Drum Festival (Japan)

The Taiko is considered one of the most primitive of all Japanese musical instruments. It
is thought to have used in communication and religious rituals in Japan. The taiko was used
in feudal Japan for motivating troops and calling out orders or announcements. It was also
used as an accompaniment for marching. The taiko is commonly found at Shinto shrines
and Buddhist temples. It is used in religious ceremonies and local festivals. Priests
authorize Japanese men to play the taiko during special occasion.

Taiko drumming has been popularized by a professional group called the Kodo. The
group is based in Sado, Japan, and
managed to introduce taiko drumming in
other places abroad. The word Kodo
conveys two meaning: “heartbeat”- the
primal source of all rhythm and, read in
different way “children” of the drum”- a
reflection of Kodo’s desire to play their
drums simply, with the heart of the
children.
https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/6122149473271109/

The main focus of the performance: Uchite is the taiko drummer; different drums; other
traditional Japanese musical instruments such as fue and shamisen make an appearance
on stage; traditional dance and vocal performance; include pieces based on the traditional
rhythms of regional Japan.

C. Andong Mask Dance Festival (Korea)

Andong Festival held every end of September to early October in the town of Andong
Gyeongsangbukdo, Korea. This festival features the talchum (mask dance) and other
traditional Korean dances. These traditional dances hold cultural significance in Korea. One
example is the byeolsingut talnori dance, which is an important intangible cultural asset of
the country.

16
 During talchum festivals, foreign mask dance troupes from other parts of the world are
invited to perform their own mask
dance. Thus, this practice
becomes an opportunity for sharing
folk cultures and traditions among
participants. There are also mask
dance competitions and mask
dance lessons for those who are
interested to learn them.
