Ramayana Ballet (Prambanan) Experience
Friday
night, July 10, 2016, I feel ecstaticaly happy. Why could it be like
that? Because I visited and joined a spectacular event in Prambanan
Temple, that is Ramayana Ballet Dance. I went there with my PIC
classmates at around 5 p.m. Right after we reached the location, at
first we gathered in a big room to heard some information from the
local well-known people about what Ramayana Ballet Dance really is.
And then, we all reunited to enjoy the show. Finally, the big show
had began!
Based
on an epic Hindu history, the story of model king Rama was adapted to
become an important local dance, encompassing the Javanese style,
culture and music. Whilst the story originated in India, the Javanese
version is truly representative of the local art and culture.In the
evenings, this ballet comes to life, enacted by over 200 professional
dancers and musicians on an open air stage that takes advantage of
the Prambanan Temples as a backdrop. The performances run from 7.30pm
to 9.30pm, and are weather dependent.
From
the show, me myself liked the performance of Hanuman because he
brought us to the romantic atmosphere with wonderful attractions. I
couldn't say a word to say what a wonderful performance he was doing.
And the parts that I loved the most were when Hanuman seduced a lady
and took him on the dance floor romanticaly, and the other one was
when Hanuman
burns Ravana’s city in a danced stage performance. To enact
Hanuman’s burning of Ravana’s city in performance, a bonfire was
built behind a columned fence on a stone promontory near the Prabanan
temple. The Hanuman dancer moves behind the flames to the right.
And
what can we learned from that show? Of course, we should preserve our
culture, especially traditional dance because this is one of the most
valuable and important thing to bring Indonesia become well-known in
the whole world. No meatter what the future would bring, we should
keep preserving our culture so that they would not be vanished.
That's why, traditional dance and opera such Ramayana Ballet is
should be preserved and improved any further to attract many people.
