The Balinese Kecak dance, also known as the ‘Ramayana Monkey Chant’, is a traditional dance and drama musical performance that combines movement, vocal chanting, and storytelling.
It is based on the Hindu epic, the Ramayana, which tells the story of Prince Rama’s quest to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana.
The dance is performed by a group of men who sit in a concentric circle, swaying and chanting ‘cak’ repeatedly. The performers are dressed in traditional checkered cloth around their waist, representing monkeys. The lead characters, such as Rama, Sita, Hanuman (the monkey god), and Ravana, are portrayed by dancers who move in and out of the circle.
The chanting of ‘cak’ by the performers forms the primary musical accompaniment for the dance, replacing traditional gamelan music. The rhythm and intensity of the chanting often correspond to the movements and actions of the characters. The performers use their bodies, hand gestures, and facial expressions to depict various scenes from the Ramayana, creating a vibrant and dynamic visual spectacle.
