Bali Agung The Balinesse Goddess Legend at Bali Theatre
A Timeless Journey Through A magical Theatrical Performance
Bali Agung, The Balinesse Goddess Legend

The Spectacular performance of ‘Bali Agung’ is inspired by the historic and legendary accounts of Sri Jaya Pangus, King of unassailable “Balingkang” Kingdom of 12th century Bali which takes ts name from marriage between a Balinese king and princess of Kang family of China. Geographically, Balingkang was perched between two ravines on the northern plateau of the Batur caldera. Today, effigies of the King are paraded through the streets of Bali as an ogre-like Barong Landung, warding off bad luck and evil spirit. Bali Theatre recreates an epic time and brings the legend to life in a rare display of Bali’s diverse cultural heritage.
