According to Wikipedia, Kathakali is a traditional Indian dance native to the southern state of Kerala. To perform it, artists deck out in elaborate costumes and colorful makeup to tell stories from Hindu epics and study for 12 years!
They have a cool cultural center that does 1 hour performances every night, in which they start by explaining the elaborate facial movements they do as well as the hand movements (although a sign language of symbols to communicate, as there's no speaking)
