Le divinità del Paese di Dio attesta il ricordo di una cultura dimenticata e delle comunità che la circondano. Il Theyyam è una forma d’arte rituale dravidica del Kerala, in India, il Paese di Dio. Questo libro fornisce informazioni dettagliate sul Theyyam, bellissime immagini e centinaia di storie. Dedichiamo questo libro agli artisti che eseguono il Theyyam, veri e propri dei 'del popolo, dal popolo, per il popolo'.L’autore ha avuto l’incredibile privilegio di rincorrere la luce con la macchina fotografica durante le proprie attività di consulenza manageriale e di volontariato, intraprendendo spedizioni in venti nazioni negli ultimi trent’anni. Tuttavia, non è ancora riuscito a scorgere un luogo in cui oltre 500 divinità scendono sulla terra nel corso di una sola stagione. Incastonato tra la catena montuosa dei Ghati Occidentali (Patrimonio dell’Umanità dell’UNESCO) e il mare arabo, ricoperto di vegetazione naturale, il terreno collinare del Malabar settentrionale apre i suoi sentieri fuori dal comune agli spiriti divini del Theyyam per abbracciare i discepoli abbandonati dagli dei. Grazie a queste divinità, l’angolo del Malabar è una vera e propria città che risplende su un’altura. Queste divinità ricoprono il doppio ruolo di costumisti, pittori, musicisti, artigiani, batteristi e coreografi. Trascendono i regni umani e si trasformano in una figura mistica, capace di sopportare fuochi ardenti e di portare senza sforzo costumi di incredibile pesantezza.Il libro Le divinità del Paese di Dio vi conduce alla scoperta della densa storia e della sorprendente versatilità di questa sacra celebrazione, la danza rituale delle scintillanti città in cima alle colline Malabar del Paese di Dio: il Kerala. È ricco di immagini accattivanti e di racconti.La seconda parte del libro affronta l’erculeo compito di coprire le secolari e ipnotiche 101 storie di Theyyam. Come fu per il Blues nel Delta del Mississippi, usando canti e danze, il Thottam e il Theyyam esprimono la malinconia dei Dravida, nativi del Paese di Dio, sommersi dal sistema di caste Chaturvarnya, vecchio di 5000 anni. Come una vera e propria ribellione divina contro sistemi potenti e ingiusti, le loro storie e la loro arte smuovono tuttora i nostri cuori.
