Symbolic and allegorical images of the Tsam dance language
Abstract
Tsam is a religious ritual action that originated in Tibet and became widespread in the Buddhist world. In terms of artistic forms, Tsam includes choreography, music, costumes and masks. To express the “dialogue between gods and people,” Tsam relies on body, sound, and feelings, and demonstrates a high degree of connection between dance art and religion. It can be described as art in religion, religion in art. The article shows how studying all aspects of dance language contributes to understanding its semantic content. Thanks to the special dance movements of the ritual dance of the Tsam mystery, believers learn Buddhist teachings.
