Photographer’s Note

While visiting Kochi, I had the opportunity to assist to a private session with Kathakali performers, just before the public representation.

It was an amazing experience to witness this ritual, not only from a cultural aspect, but mostly to see this humble and reserved man - which is a considered a master of Kathakali, venerated by aficionados and other performers of this art form - completely metamorphosing himself once in full gear, becoming bold and exultant, deeply possessed by its character.
