Story
of Bali, Indonesia
Piqued
at not receiving
the post of minister
which had been promised
him, Rangga. Lawe
retired to his province, where
he was joined by several
of the young king's most
important vassals. An
intriguing courtier
fomented the quarrel
into a serious rebellion,
and Rangga Lawe. And all his supporters
were killed. We have already mentioned
Rangga Lawe as
one of the themes of Gamboeh, to the performance
of which, however, a certain
danger attaches because of some
magical quality it possesses. One
feels it to be a much more suitable subject
for Gamboeh, with its varied
ranks of officials,
movement, and
splendor. But
by far the most important
of Javanese themes
is the story of Ken
Arok, a favorite
subject of Topeng
both in Bali and
Java. It is indeed
so marvellous a story
that we feel impelled
to give it at much
greater length, and to accompany the story by a
short account of its performance.
