Ramayana Ballet Performance at Prambanan is the event that I found interesting. This event takes place in Prambanan Temple, specific place is at Trimurti Theater. Trimurti Theater is behind the Prambanan Temple. The dates for Ramayana Ballet Performance is November 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21, 24, 26, and 28 2015. This event is started at 7.30 P.M until 9.30 P.M. People who want to see this event need to pay Rp100.000 – Rp250.000. The price for students is Rp40.000.
Ramayana Ballet Performance is interesting and worth to watch because the people who watch this event can feel a different atmosphere of watching folklore. I have watched it once, and it was so amazing. Why the atmosphere is different? Because, the people who watch it isn’t in indoor theater building, but in outdoor theater building. So, if the rain pouring down, and the performance already 45 minutes long or 15 minutes left to end, the performer will still play or perform it while the rain is pouring and the viewers will put on their coat or use their umbrella to cover their body from the rain. And also, their performance is awesome. They are not talking, but the way they moved their body is like talking to the people who watch it. Even though, there is a projector to display the story, but not all the people can see it. So, the people can only understand the story from their movement and the gesture. Besides that, the lighting and the artistic also the two things that make it more awesome. And this event is important to discuss because it will help people to know more about Indonesia’s cultures.
