Topeng pajegan
Presentation
One dancer brings several characters of Balinese masked dance theatre to life.
In this topeng pajegan performance, one dancer portrays several characters through dance, masks and theatrical expression. The offering adapts to your event, with live musicians on stage or a version using pre-recorded music.
An approximately 45-minute format includes at least three dances — keras, tua and dalem — and a comic character, bondres or penasar. A fuller version includes five dances and two to three penasar appearances, lasting approximately 60 to 75 minutes.
