Kecak Dance tells the Indian story of Ramayana. Rama, a warrior and rightful hier to the throne of Ayodya, is exiled with his wife Sita, and the desert far away. There, the evil king of Spies, Sita, falls in love with him, and sent a reminder Rama golden deer away. SITA is closed, and turn his army of Rama to defeat the evil king and save her. Rama is a man dancing in the middle of the green circle, the golden lion has a new mystery.
What makes the Kecak such a fascinating dance to watch some fifty men in checkered pants. They are both the choir and accessories that give the music history in a series of constant vocal chants that change with the mood of the players. They do not sit still either, they wave their arms to simulate fire and position themselves around the stage to represent wind and fire, prison cells, and the invisible hand of the protection of the gods.
The dance is played in five acts and lasts about 45 minutes. Weekly (in some places daily) performances of the Kecak The plentiful around the island, but the theater is best known in the city of Kecak Batubulan just north of the capital of Bali. The dance company provides transportation for a nominal fee and the station.
Attending a Kecak recital is a must for any visitor to Bali. This is a wonderful experience, and a window into the musical and artistic culture that make the Balinese a special people.
