/person

The very essence of the Sang hyang dance is maintenance of a balance society. –Sang hyang dancers begin to act and move in a special “vocabulary of movement” in a trance state. And they dance in irregular patterns, resembling the function of the sacred broom, the Sampat. Then they take the long broom in hand and begin to dance. In this way the evil spirits lingering around the farmland will be demolished. Their arms firmly grasping the broom, rhythmically swinging from one side go the other, they continue clearing the accumulation of the threatening and potentially destructive forces. Drawing curve in the air as they transmit the cleansing power of Sampat onto the environment. Finally, their responsibility of transmitting the ritual offering to the gods and the bestowal of blessing onto the farming community are mediated.
Every Tuesday at 7 pm.
