What Indonesia - Bali is all about ?

The heroine, the Galoeh, resembles all other dance heroines in style and dress, as does also her lady-in-waiting, here called the Inia; she may have two other younger attendants as well, called, as in Gamboeh, Bajan and Sangit, and distinguished from the Inia by slight differences in dress.
The Limboer introduces a type peculiar to Ardja. She is a mature, strong minded woman with a rather masculine style, deep determined voice, and certain male elements in her sumptuous but often ungraceful dress., This is a favorite role for certain female impersonators. It is not necessarily unsympathetic, though it generally has a nuance of intrigue, and a certain eccentricity expressed by manly voice and commanding gestures, sudden, arbitrary accents of wrist and shoulder, and surprising fluctuations of the body. Each character has its own special cadence and manner of singing, and that of the Limboer is often particularly splendid

The peculiarity of her speech is that she intones a whole phrase on one note; dropping a little on the last syllable. She may be the mother or foster-mother of any of the principal characters. Her part may therefore be doubled, for there arc occasions on which two of them are provided with a Limboer. She has an attendant called Desak, whose head-dress and manner are always slightly peculiar, sometimes even eccentric. The Limboer may, however, appear without her Desak, or she may have two, each with distinctive names and peculiarities of gesture-perhaps only an unexpected accent of lifted eyebrow, and a wayward intonation which establishes a sense of strangeness.
