Theyyam also called Theyyattam, are ritual dance forms performed in northern Kerala and few parts of Karnataka. Theyyam consists of traditions, rituals and customs associated with temples and sacred groves of Malabar. It broadly encompasses Hindu ritualistic tenets. The people of the region consider Theyyam itself as a channel to a god and they thus seek blessings from Theyyam. Theyyam is a centuries-old unique art form of North Malabar. In Kasaragod and Kannur districts, this ritual art is mainly performed in the kavus (Temple) or ancestral houses of Nambiar, Thiyyar, Vaniyar and Maniyani communities.

  • Teyyam (Malayalam), auch Theyyam, Teyyāṭṭam oder Kāḷiyāṭṭam, ist ein hinduistisches Ritualtheater, das im Norden des südindischen Bundesstaates Kerala auf dem Gelände eines kleinen Dorftempels, an einem provisorisch hergerichteten Schrein oder in privaten Kulträumen aufgeführt wird. Durch Kostüme, Make-up, begleitende Trommelmusik und den Gesang heiliger Verse geraten die niedrigkastigen Akteure in einen Zustand der Besessenheit, in welchem sie eine Gottheit (ebenfalls Teyyam) verkörpern. Das Wort teyyam ist abgeleitet von Sanskrit deva („Gott“) und daivam („niedere Gottheit“, auch „Schicksal“). Mit dem Wortbestandteil āṭṭam („Tanz“) heißt teyyāṭṭam „Tanz für die Götter“.

  • Theyyam (Teyyam, Theyam, Theyyattam) è una forma rituale di danza popolare di adorazione del Kerala e Karnataka, in India. Il Theyyam consisteva in diverse tradizioni, rituali e costumi millenari. Gli artisti di Theyyam appartengono alla comunità aborigena delle caste inferiori del Kerala e hanno una posizione importante nel Theyyam. Le persone di questi distretti considerano lo Theyyam stesso come un canale verso un dio e quindi cercano benedizioni dal Theyyam. (it)
