CALONARANG - TRANCE DANCE

@ CAMPHUAN TEMPLE - UBUD, BALI -

CALONARANG was a legendary queen who was accused of practising black magic. She killed her husband by pointing with the left hand at him. She becomes known as the Widow (Rangda) and turns into a terrible Leyal (witch-monster) that is finally killed by a saint who assumes the form of the Barong.

"THE KRIS DANCERS"
During the fight the Barong calls for his followers, the kris dancers, to assist him. The kris dancers attack Rangda with their magic knives (kris), but she casts a spell on them so that they fall into a trance and stab themselves with their knives instead of her. However, the Barong makes one final appearance and releases the kris dancers from her curse. In the final scene a priest pours holy water on the kris dancers and awakens them from their trance.
