Monkey dance



On friday evening we all went for a traditional dance show in the Pura Dalem Ubud. It is called the "Kecak Ramayana and the fire dance". Kecak is a form of Balinese dance and music drama  accompanied by a male chorus. The play depicts a battle from the Ramayana where the monkey-like Vanara helped Prince Rama fight the evil King Ravana. It ended with a trance dance, where a a man on a horse kicked fire in all directions. We liked it very much. 


Here you can hear what it sounded like:
