Whether it’s your first time in Bali or your tenth, witnessing the famed Kecak dance at sunset in the purpose-built amphitheater beside Uluwatu Temple is a must-do. The captivating performance has its origins in the ancient sanghyang ritual, through which a divine spirit is believed to reveal itself through entranced young dancers. Narrating a compressed version of the Ramayana epic through colorful costumes, skilful movements, chanting, and a touch of humor, Kecak as an art form was developed only in 1930 as a joint effort between the famed Balinese dancer Wayan Limbak and German painter and musicologist Walter Spies.
