Kuzhebar shadow theater piece

Posted on December 4th, 2007 by nadishana.

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.

Mystical birds of Ancient Kuzhebar

Posted on September 14th, 2007 by nadishana.
Categories: kuzhebar, pyrography, Julia Surba.

Kuzhebarian tales say about three mystical birds, who are providers of different power-sorces. For mortals, however, the birds were dangerous and indifferent at the same time. One of them symbolizes darkness, another light and the third one wisdom. Kuzhebarian people believed that each of these birds come to each person one time a life and everybody has to choose with which of them to be connected. People give their emotions, intentions and thoughts like food to the birds and birds provide them a power they have. One gives the power to complain or to be angry, another the power to be joyful and to laugh, and the third one gives access to wisdom.

Julia Surba decided to materialize these three birds in a pyrography-trilogy. Here you can see the first of the birds, the darkness bird, also called the “gloom-bird” in kuzhebarian mythology.
As usually described in kuzhebarian tales it is shown crying with the symbols of power it gives and takes above and under its head. The symbols on the frame depict the ways the gloom-bird can be connected with people.

The crazy idea to make pyrography on a skateboard is realised. You can read the ancient kuzhebarian tale about the Father of the Sky and his daughter just from the surface of this pyro-skateboard.
This new pyro-object of mine was also featured in the pyrography online magazine “Pyrograffiti” with other interesting news about pyrography from around the world.

Special thank to “Henna me” for her great support. Here you can see the result.
