Baris Gede troupes
Friends,
I happened to be in Batur two days ago where the Baris Gede troupes were rehearsing for the Purnama Kedasa festival happening next week. According to the dancers (and schedules can always change so be prepared for the unexpected), the ritual dances (Baris Dadap was the one I saw being rehearsed, a very poignant and slow Baris done by six dancers carrying a small half-canoe like object with spurs on one end; they were singing from a Kidung as well) will be done around 3 pm on:
April 10
April 12 (purnama/full moon)
April 13
It was lovely to see the younger generation seriously studying this simple and elegant dances.
As this is an odalan, full temple clothing is de rigeur.
