The Leader
I know many blogger post this picture earlier than me, by the way I took this picture year ago at kota tua same day as I took tattoo picture. It’s a so yesterday picture or not, u decide…^^ I took this with my 400D Canon and all the lens I have…
Before we go to the next picture, here is about what is Kuda lumping ora jaran kepang is:
Kuda Lumping (literally flat horse; also known as Jaran Kepang in Javanese) is a traditional Javanese dance depicting a group of horsemen. Dancers "ride" horses made from woven bamboo and decorated with colorful paints and cloth. Generally, the dance portrays troops riding horses, but another type of Kuda Lumping performance also incorporates trances and magic tricks. When the "possessed" dancer is performing the dance in trance conditions, he can display unusual abilities, such as eating glass and resistance to the effects of whipping or hot coals. Although the dance is native to Java, Indonesia, it also performed by Javanese immigrants in Suriname, Malaysia and Singapore.
From what I read from bataviase.co.id, the name of this group is Grup Kuda Lumping Turunggu Joyo, with 25 members and all of them is a family member.
One of the members, He drink kerosene and then ejected to make fire
One of the attraction, this child body was wrapped with white cloth, then tied with plastic mine.
The leader, he cursed a spell to the bucket
This two man is possessed than act like a horse
The possessed one, roll over
Little reog dancer
This kind of perform is our heritage, and should be preserve. Love Indonesia.
