One of the interesting items of the programme is the famous Kris dance, as performed In Ball by the Sang Hyang dancers. The den- cora, being all virgins, are put into a trance by the Templa priest, and as he presses the krisses Into their hands, the dance begins, first slowkikl then faster and faster, until the dancers.
portraying the wild aban- don of human sacrifice, collapse one by one entirely exhausted, but unwounded. The high priestess (Ratu Idja) who in the meantime has been imploring the God Indra to forgive her her past offences, feels that she can no longer escape her fate. Hesitating and with trembling fingers who takes the Holy Kris, which in this particular 60/10% instance proves her shame and un- cleanliness to the gathered worship- pers. And the wild, fast dance ends in a dramatic climax when abe runs up to the feet of Indra and stabs herself with the holy krias. Other numbers, of the richly varied programma are; The Dance of the Priestess of the Holy Pura, the Dance of the Temple Virgins, the Worship of Durga, the wife of Clwa, Moonlight on the Borobudur, the Amboina War Dance, etc.
