Kecak Dance
The Kecak Dance or Cak dance is a part of the Sanghyang Dance. In the Shangyang there are a women's chorus and a men's chorus. The man chorus chants the words Cak ke-cak ke-cak ke-cak, ke-cak, in the rhythm, over and over again. For this reason they are called the kecak or cak.
The kecak dance consists of obout one hundred men wearing only a lord-cloth, the upper part of their bodies left bare. They form rows of circles, in the middle of which is a coconout-pil-lamp. First they move their bodies rhythmically to the left and to the right, chanting the word cak ke-cak ke-cak ke-cak continuously in slow rhythm. Gradually the rhythm is speeded up and by turns the left their hands, trembling, into the air. The atmosphere created by this is accompanied by hissing sounds like those of monkeys. At fixed times half the circle of Kecak dancers falls backwards together.
The Kecak Dance is performed for dance-drama and the story presented is taken from the Ramayana epic. Among the stories presented are the abduction of Sinta and fight between Sugriwa and Subali, but sometimes also the whole story from the abduction of Sinta to the death of Rahwana.
