The Kecak dance is one of
the most famous of Balinese dances.
It is unusual because it has no musical
accompaniment like many other Indonesian dances do,
the rhythm of the dance is
produced by the chanting 'monkey' chorus.
The chanting noise of
"Cak-cak-cak" gave the dance its name Kecak.
The 50 man chorus
arrange themselves in a ring around a flame, to produce a stage.
The men not
only provide the rhythm for this dance but also act as the various monkey
armies
that are featured in the story and as the undulating snake in one of the
scenes.
The story line of the dance is taken from the Ramayana epic that tells of the
evil King Rahwana using trickery to kidnap Rama's wife Dewi Sinta,
and how with
the help of the white monkey army, Rama rescues his wife and defeats the evil
Rahwana.
