Barong and Kriss Dance

The Barong dance is truly a triumphant display of bright colors and graceful movements.

Inspired by an episode taken from Mahabharata, an epic poem written in Sanskrit. The dance evolves around the character of the Barong, the king of the jungle. A mythical animal, he is the symbol of virtue and good, subject to the continuous struggle against the evil forces - Rangda, that threaten life and the integrity of the forest, this being an element very dear to the Balinese population.
