The Most 'Terrifying' Yet Unmissable Dance Performance in Bali!

The Kecak dance holds an irreplaceable place in the hearts of the Balinese people. The stage is set on the cliffside of the Uluwatu Temple. Without any musical instruments, the performance is entirely accompanied by human voices, rooted in Hinduism. It tells the story of childhood sweethearts, where the female protagonist is captured by a demon king and eventually rescued by the monkey god Hanuman. The dance is often performed at dusk, with dim firelight and dancers swaying around a fire, chanting religiously. Initially, it might be hard to understand and even seem a bit scary due to the masks, but as the performance progresses, it becomes particularly captivating! There is also interaction with the audience, making it exceptionally entertaining!
