Bali's court dance since the 19th century

Originating in the 19th century, the Legong is renowned for its intricate choreography, expressive gestures and fast movements. Young female dancers in gold costumes perform to the powerful sounds of a gamelan orchestra.

The tale of Princess Rangkesari and the king

The story is performed by a court attendant and two identically dressed legong dancers who play the royal roles. Drawn from the history of East Java in the 12th and 13th centuries, it tells of a king who finds the maiden Rangkesari lost in the forest and locks her away, goes to war with her brother the Prince of Daha, and meets a bird of ill omen foretelling his death on his way to battle.
