Bali: Mask of Rangda
Available for purchase as part of Hartley Classics Volume 3
Bali: Mask of Rangda captures an extraordinary psychodrama that is acted out yearly on the lush island of Bali. Once a year, in order to exorcise violence, the Balinese enter deep trances wearing God-like masks representing different aspects of the human soul. In this annual ritual, good combats evil, with no resolution.
Their ritual descent into madness leads to a rebirth of sanity and wholeness and allows the Balinese to preserve the spirit of cooperation so essential to their culture.
Bali: Mask of Rangda offers a rare window into a little known culture and insight into the interplay between good and evil in all of us.
