Esplanade - Clever Monkey Sebung

SYNOPSIS

A colourful dance-drama performance that tells the story of a gamelan ensemble preparing for a temple anniversary in a small Balinese village.

Watch as the musicians transform into a tribe of monkeys and learn to chant “kecak”. Beware, however, of the evil witch, who tries to disrupt the preparations. In the end, a balance between good and evil is restored and the village rejoices in a successful ceremony, rich with music, dance, colourful offerings, and more!
