Barong dance in the GWK Cultural Park
The Barong is a masked figure, usually representing an unidentified creature called a keket that appears in Bali during the time of the celebration. For the Balinese, the Barong is the symbol of health and happiness, unlike the witch Rangda (also known as Calonarang). The Barong is brought to life by two dancers, surrounded by ornate crockery. On the mask of the figure hangs a frangipani flower decorated beard of human hair, in which the magical power of Barong is suspected.

Dieses hier ist ein praechtiges Exemplar. Lustig sind die kleinen Barongs, die die Kinder selbst machen, oftmals Schweinemasken, und durch die Doerfer tragen, gefolgt von einem Riesenschwanz Kindern. LG MarlisChristian Villain 17/03/2019 15:20
