Bali - Sanghijang und Ketjaqtanz (Sang Hyang and Kecak Dance)
The Sanghyang
is a trance dance performed by young girls. We can imagine that the
sight of little girls swaying in an incense-filled atmosphere,
surrounded by seated men with arms akimbo, must have looked particularly
weird to Europeans in 1926. Mullens may have worked with Gregor Krause,
who was based in Bangli, especially since these images fit into the
scheme of Krause's book. They add depth to the idea of Bali's culture,
but present some of the most extreme and exotic visual aspects of that
culture.
