Persian Gusan - Indian Krishna
Throughout history, there were several nations forced to speak other languages and to learn about other cultures as a result of war, migration, religious beliefs, and so on. This fusion of language and culture has led to the emergence of many artistic styles and forms. This was a reciprocal influence on the culture and art of both countries or all the countries involved in the specific historic event such as war, migration, etc. Archaeological excavations carried out by Professor Ed Keele and a Canadian archeological team at Yazdgerd castle before the revolution of Iran revealed a critical column that contained a number of motifs. After a while, the column was moved to the ROM Museum in Toronto.In this article I provide reference to evidence and documents form pasts centuryes to present, and I would make this argument that one of these motifs can be an obvious representative of a dancer or a singer. This paper includes a piece from my lifelong research in the field of theatre and show form.The article explains how the carved details in the form and cover of this excavated motif are very similar to Gusan and maybe Krishna, the Indian god. There are several historical Books that talk about Gusans as pioneers of acting in the world. The hypothesis explains how this mural can be perceived as a typical role of a Gusan. A proposed explanation is provided as to how the prominence of a Gusan can adorn the palace of a king.
