All Balinese dance is so beautiful, Cheers! I love them, I am so proud to part of Bali, the place where you can live your life with Culture, Art, God and all. :)
The character is "manis" (sweet) rather than "keras" (harsh). But not gushing sweet, all sugar coated. More like "fresh" water is called "sweet" water in much of the world for the lack of salt.
Both are a branch of Topeng. Topeng Keras (red/grey masked), resembles a warrior/military/region leader, with a strong/tough character. Jauk Keras resembles a wild giant character (red masked). This is Jauk Manis, resembles a soft/mild giant character (white masked).
Yes, this is definitely an "oldschool" version. "Professor Jauk", I Made Djimat, was Gung Anom's coach for this dance in the festival. Both artists are very concerned with respecting and honoring the essential aspects of jauk manis. Others in the festival and elsewhere add lots of movements that are not really idiomatic. Anom gets the core of the dance beautifully here.

It's a solo dance. More like a monster than a demon, I believe.

Is Jauk considered the demon in Bali?
Can 2 or more people performed this at the same time or is this a solo choreo?

Oh wow! This is amazing. I am writing a short paper on Jauk Manis for a class taught by an acquaintance of yours, I believe.

I love this version of Jauk Manis - apparently this is the "oldschool" version.

I had the pleasure of watching Pak Djimat dancing this in Celuk a couple of years ago - I was awestruck. Simply amazing.
