Kecak & Fire Dance

Kecak is the most unique Balinese dance which is not accompanied by any orchestra but by a choir of seventy men. It has its origin in an old ritual dance - 'Sanghyang'.

The story is about a King who lost his wife due to some trickery by a demon king, and later managed to rescue her with the assitance of an army of monkeys under the command of a monkey king (machiam Su Mo Kong). This dance was showcased on top of the temple of Uluwatu (which is on a steep cliff with a macnificent sunset view) at the southern tip of Bali.
