Finishing off the Barong Dance in Batubulan
Finishing off the Barong Dance in Batubulan:
Notice the eyes - in Balinese dance, the mouth is motionless, all expression is with the eyes and the rest of the body - especially the hands.
Next is the wicked witch Rangda. Notice the fingernails!
Barong vs. Rangda. Guess who wins?
Barong prevents the loyal warriors from committing Hara-Kiri with their Kris.
At the end of the dance, the two-man Barong costume is put on display.
More dance photos to come!
