The impressive Balinese fire dance (Kecak dance)
Kecak Dance is a traditional dance from Bali which is very distinctive and popular. This dance is also known as the "Fire Dance" because it often involves fire scenes in the performance. Here are some important points about the Kecak Dance:
Origin and History: The Kecak dance originates from Bali and became widely known in the 1930s. This dance was created by a Balinese artist named Wayan Limbak who collaborated with German painter Walter Spies. The Kecak dance is inspired by the sanghyang ritual, which is a sacred dance that aims to ward off evil spirits and maintain village security.
Distinctive Characteristics: One of the distinctive characteristics of the Kecak Dance is that it does not use musical instruments. Instead, this dance is accompanied by the sound of "cak, cak, cak" which is chanted rhythmically by dozens of male dancers sitting in a circle. The harmonization of these sounds becomes unique and energetic accompanying music.
Stories Performed: The Kecak Dance usually tells part of the Ramayana epic, especially the story of the kidnapping of Dewi Sinta by Ravana, and the rescue efforts carried out by Hanoman and his army of monkeys. This dance depicts the battle between good and evil.
Performance and Meaning: Kecak dance is not only entertainment, but also has spiritual value. Performances are often held in temples or other sacred places in Bali, before sunset to add to the mystical and magical atmosphere
