The
Story
An unforgettable tale of a journey of the powerful Monkey God Hanuman through Bali and the Indonesian archipelago showcasing a variety of dances, music and an exciting fire dance finale. The event showcases the following dance performances from around Indonesia; the Jaipong, Kecak, Papua and Pakarena.
PART 1 SUMMARY - 'The Birth of Hanuman', when Dewi Anjani begs to Lord Shiva to have his son so Lord Shiva grants her the wish for Hanuman to be born. Little Hanuman was playing with his friends in Wana Maya forest where he ate the Sun and the world turned into darkness. Lord Indra became very angry with little Hanuman as this darkness brought unbalance to the world, so he attempts to kill little Hanuman but Lord Surya comes to his rescue and informs Lord Indra that Hanuman is an incarnation of Lord Shiva and is not to be harmed. This leads into Hanuman becoming of age as an adult.
PART 2 SUMMARY - 'The story of Ramayana' details the kidnapping of Dewi Sita (the wife of Rama) by Rahwana whom longs for her love and wants to make her his wife. Lord Rama asks Hanuman for his help to deliver a ring for Sita in the kingdom of Alenka while he prepares to save her. As Hanuman arrives in Alenka, he battles with the demons who try to kill him by burning him but Hanuman cannot be burned due to his superpowers. Hanuman destroys Alenka by turning it to fire and ashes. He saves Sita and returns to Lord Rama who gives him a reward to enjoy the Nusantara dance!
