    TARI BARONG

    Barong is probably the most well

    known dance. It is also another story telling

    dance, narrating the fight between good and

    evil. This dance is the classic example of

    Balinese way of acting out mythology,

    resulting in myth and history being blended

    into one reality.

    The story goes that Rangda, the mother of Erlangga, the King of Bali in the

    tenth century, was condemned by Erlangga's father because she practiced black magic.

    After she became a widow, she summoned all the evil spirits in the jungle, the leaks

    and the demons, to come after Erlangga. A fight occurred, but she and her black magic

    troops were too strong that Erlangga had to ask for the help of Barong. Barong came

    with Erlangga's soldiers, and fight ensued. Rangda casted a spell that made Erlangga

    soldiers all wanted to kill themselves, pointing

    their poisoned keris into their own stomachs and

    chests. Barong casted a spell that turned their body

    resistant to the sharp keris. At the end, Barong

    won, and Rangda ran away.

    Somebody can die or get seriously injured

    in a Barong dance. It is said that if Rangda's spell is too strong, a weak soldier may not

    be able to resist it, even with the help of Barong. He may end up hurting himself with

    his own keris.

    The masks of Barong and Rangda are considered sacred items, and before they

    are brought out, a priest must be present to offer blessings by sprinkling them with

    holy water taken from Mount Agung, and offerrings must be presented.
