Comment
The "Legong" is regulated by Gusti made sengho, from the Piiatan village. This is a classical Balinese dance for three little girls, performed by Ni gusti raka, Anak agung oka and Anak agung anom. The "Tjondong" (servanto) enters, picks up the fans, offers them to the dancers of the "Legong" and leaves. Then begins the story, mimed by the two princesses, which tells us of the kidnapping of Princess Rangkesari by the King of Lasem. The king promises her to end the war against her brother if she unites with him. The princess rebuffs his advances. furious, the king swears the death of the princess's brother. Before the battle, an ominous black bird flies around the king of Lasem and it is the one who will be killed. (Cf. DT Registration Indonesia: File "Bali - BM. 53.1": 1 booklet "Ballets de Bali")
