dbo:abstract
  • Swang, auch Svang (Hindi स्वांग, svāṅg), Sang (Hindi सांग, sāṅg), ist im engeren Sinn ein volkstümliches Tanztheater in den nordindischen Bundesstaaten Punjab, Rajasthan und der Region Malwa in Madhya Pradesh. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf Dialogen und Erzählungen in Prosaform, die Lieder werden in einer großen stilistischen Bandbreite gesungen, die von den melodischen Strukturen der halbklassischen indischen Musik bis zur heutigen Filmmusik reichen. Die Themen stammen aus weit verbreiteten mythischen Erzählungen oder den historischen Heldengeschichten der Panjabi-Folklore. Swang als übergeordnete Stilrichtung ist die bekannteste Volkstheatertradition zur Unterhaltung in Nordindien. Aus dieser alten Mischung aus Tanz, Theater, Lied, inszeniertem Dialog und monologischer Erzählung entwickelten sich eigenständige Formen wie der in ganz Nordindien verbreitete nautanki-Stil, die regionalen Stile sang in Haryana, in Uttar Pradesh und khyal in Rajasthan. Neben dieser historischen und geografischen Abgrenzung werden die Begriffe swang, sang und nautanki teilweise austauschbar verwendet. (de)

Religious stories and folk tales are enacted by a group of ten or twelve persons in an open area or an open-air theatre surrounded by the audience.Swang as an art of imitation means Rang-Bharna, Naqal-Karna. Swang can be considered as the most ancient folk theatre form of India. Nautanki, Saang, Tamasha originated from the Swang traditions. Old Swang traditions are: "EK MARDANA EK JANANA MANCH PAR ADE THE RAI" means one male and one female performers start the story. "EK SAARANGI EK DHOLAKIA SAATH MEIN ADE THE RAI" means one sarangi player and one dholak player joins the performance. This Swang/Saang performance was active at the time of Kabir Sant and Guru Nanak. Tradition credits for laying the foundation of the present style of Swang about two hundred years ago. During Mughal period and specifically at the time of Aurangzeb women were strictly banned from public performances. Since women did not participate in the dance-drama form, men have traditionally enacted their roles. Later on different performers changed the style according to the socio-political situations. (en)
