Kecak Dance is a well-known captivating Balinese artistical performance. It usually performs at Uluwatu Temple at the cliff facing the ocean. Starting at the dusk, the story continues into the night, and the light only comes from the set of torches. Developed in the 1930s, Kecak Dance is a collaboration between Balinese Hindu dance and musical drama.
Unlike other Balinese traditional performances using gamelan, Kecak Dance is only accompanied with human voice chanting “chak” with polyrhythmic sound for almost entire performance. Around 50-60 men formed a circle and wore only black and white loincloth with their upper boddies are left bare-chested.
The story of Kecak Dance is a shorter version of Ramayana Saga where dancers are the representation of monkey troops, with other dancers are the representation of Rama, Laksmana, Sita, Rahwana, Hanoman, Sugriwa, and other characters.
