Bali Agung - The Legend of Balinese God

Audience will be taken back to a bygone era when farming was the island’s sole and most rewarding economy, with various exotic animals wandering freely in Bali’s forests, children absorbed in their traditional games and markets that were busy with people exchanging goods, with lots of smiles and laughter. The island’s surplus farming produce attracted many foreign traders. It was in this era when the Chinese superior technology in metal-related manufacturing, porcelain and ceramic products came to meet the island’s demand. So close was the relationship that many of the Chinese cultural aspects were, and still are, seamlessly adopted into today’s Hindu tradition. Replicas of holed Chinese coins can be seen at temples throughout the land, barong dances are performed frequently and dragon effigies can be seen nearly everywhere. Bali Agung is a show by the island’s most applauded performers and directed by an internationally acclaimed theatrical legend and is about the origin of Bali’s truth-seeking life based on their much-admired Hindu Dharma philosophy.
