The Ramayana is an epic Hindu poem telling the story of the good Prince Rama’s crusade to rescue his bride (Sinta) from the evil king (Rahwana). The classical, enjoyable Javanese dance-drama performs the Ramayana throughout by the gentle, percussive chimes of the gamelan: needless to say, Rama ultimately defeats the demon king and is joyfully reunited with his bride.
Bilaan is a dance that depicts the lively, simple movements of birds in flight and as they preen themselves. This dance is performed by the etnic tribe Bilaan in Cotabato, Mindanao Island, the Philippines. The female dancers wear beautiful costumes.
I enjoyed both shows while in Yogyakarta and in Manila and both impressed me. My illustration doesn’t refer to a particular performance ( some Thai ballet should be also mentioned here….) but to a general south-east Asian ballet-concept that struck me greatly!
Let’s dance…
