From Wikipedia:
Kathakali is a highly stylised classical Indian dance drama noted for its attractive make-up of characters, their elaborate costumes, detailed gestures and well-defined body movements presented in tune with the anchor playback music and complementary percussion. It originated in the country's present day state of Kerala during the 16th century AD, approximately between 1555 and 1605, and has been updated over the years with improved looks, refined gestures and added themes besides more ornate singing and precise drumming.
In actuality, Kathakali was a little creepy and weirded us out! The man dressed as a woman kept making kissy faces at us, which was freaky. I'm glad we experienced this, but it's not something I would want to see every weekend!
I had the word "creepy" in my head before I even read what you wrote!
