Kecak dancing is a Balinese tradition that brings together groups of a hundred villagers each Sunday and Thursday night (and on holidays) for a reenactment of the Sanskrit epic, the Ramayana. One hundred men sit in a circle chanting--functioning as the background music and the stage--as other male and female characters dance in and around the circle playing out the story. The chanting is nearly trance-inducing.
