Bali
: Shiva-in-dance, dance called Kupu-Kupu Carum, whose rather complicated
plot involves a prince meditating to try to win a magic kris (sword),
while supernatural beings try to distract him in various ways.
Here the god Shiva comes down to scare off the lesser supernatural
beings and eventually deliver to the prince his well-earned kris.
The seated men are part of the gamelan orchestra, which plays
complicated rhythms on a variety of percussion instruments continuously
throughout the dance performance.
