Background: This dance is about the struggle between good and evil. Good is personified by the Barong, a strange, fun-loving charcter in the shape of a shaggy lion. Evil is represented by Rangda, the witch. They have a battle.

The Barong’s followers rush at Rangda with their keris knives. Rangda uses her powers to make them turn their krisses upon themselves. They fall into trance and the Barong thereby protects his people.

In the end, Ranggda retreats, but everyone knows that she will return. The performance ends and a local priest gets the dancers out of trance by sprinkling holy water on them.

Order Number: CD2

Background: The most famous of Balinese dances, the Kecak, originated from the Sanghyang trance dance. The dance gets its name from men chanting “kechak-kechak”. This represents the chatterings of monkeys. There is no orchestra.

The dance, developed in the 1930s, taken from the Ramayana epic, tells the story of King Rama, who, with the help of the monkey army, tries to rescue his beautiful wife, Sita, from the evil King Rawana. It is a very exciting dance. The dancers dance within large circles of chanting men, waving their arms, swaying to and fro in time with the chants.
