0830 hour- Barong Dance & Kris Dance (18SX)
(Warning: This section contains sexually explicit material. If you are under the age of 21, if such material offends you, please hit the X button at the right top of this page. Haha!)
This is how the script goes like-

The Barong- Play represents an eternal fight between good and evil spirit. Barong (a mythological animal) represents a good spirit and Rangda ( a mythological monster) represents an evil one.

The great Badung

The Dances Start With Music Over Tone

Followed by his friend the monkey, the tiger comes up. Three masked- dancers appear, representing men making palmwine in the forest, whom child is killed by the tiger. The three men get angry and attack the tiger. The tiger is helped by the monkey. During the fight the nose of one of the three men is bitten off.

First Act

Two girl- dancers appear, representing the servants of the Rangda, looking for the servants of Dewi Kunti who are on their way to meet their Patih (Prime minister)

Second Act

Two servants of Dewi Kunti showing. One of the servants of the Rangda changes into a witch and enters both servants to make them angry. They meet their Patih and go together to Dewi Kunti.

Third Act

Dewi Kunti and her son, Sadewa come up, Dewi Kunti has promised the Rangda to sacrifice Sadewa. A witch appears and enters Dewi Kunti. She becomes angry and orders the Patih to bring Sadewa into the forest. The Patih is also entered by a witch so he does not have pity on Sadewa. Sadewa is then taken into a forest and tied
up to a tree.

(The rape STARTS now)

Fourth Act

Unknown by Rangda, Siwa, God appears and gives Sadewa immortality. The Rangda appears, ready to kill Sadewa and eat him up but Sadewa is still alive. Rangda then surrenders and asks Sadewa to redeem herself, Sadewa agrees and kills Rangda. The Rangda goes into heaven.

Fifth Act

One of the servants of the Rangda called Kalika comes before Sadewa and asks to redeem herself too, Sadewa refuses. Kalika gets angry anc changes herself into a boar and fights Sadewa. The boar is defeated. She then changes herself into a garuda (bird) but is defeated again. At last she changes into a Rangda, Sadewa meditates and then he changed himself into Barong. Still Rangda seems to be too powerful and the fight is unended. Followers of Barong appear and help him fight the Rangda.

So this is a 'sunat' ceremony on a boar, this is something new

(Poke from the behind with a HUGE bamboo stick, that must have hurt)

Make way for Rangda RAWR!!!

*Sanur is a town which has 25 5 stars hotels. Every buildings in Bali is relatively short if it's compared to ours. To their believes, a building musnt exceed the height of a coconut tree or 15m to be exact. Above the 15m is considered another level where both spirits and angels live in, while Balineses are taught not to offend and stay low always. To everyone's surprise was the frequent happenings of insomnia which occur to visitors who once stayed over at Bali Hilston ( A 5 stars hotel with a height higher than a coconut tree ). Taking account to the strange happenings, the top storey was lowered down. And it's now called Bali Beach Resort.
