Barong and Keris Dance The Barong dance is the classic story
of good (The Barong) triumphing over evil ( The evil witch Rangda). The
Barong is a large lion type creature played by two men, Rangda is the
epitome of evil with long fingernails and droopy breasts. The Barong is
going about his business until he is interrupted by Rangda. Ultimately a
battle ensues and the Barong’s followers begin attacking Rangda with
their Keris (daggers). Rangda, being a witch, is able to use magical
powers to turn the daggers against their owners, who fall into a trance
and try to stab themselves. In Balinese dance the movement is
closely associated with the rhythms produced by the gamelan, a musical
ensemble specific to Java and Bali. Multiple levels of articulations in
the face, eyes, hands, arms, hips, and feet are coordinated to reflect
layers of percussive sounds.
Goa Gajah Temple At the
facade of the cave is a relief of various menacing creatures and demons
carved right into the rock at the cave entrance. The primary figure was
once thought to be an elephant, hence the nickname Elephant Cave. The
site is mentioned in the Javanese poem Desawarnana written in 1365. An
extensive bathing place on the site was not excavated until the 1950s.
