The
Kechak Dance
|
| The Kechak dance is a retelling of the Ramayana myth with a huge chorus of young men, seen here sitting around the perimeter of the dancers. The young men represent the forest full of monkeys that watch as the story unfolds. They provide the only music throughout the performance by making an amazing assortment of percussion noises with their voices, coming together in a hypnotizing litany. |
