Balinese Mask : Spiritual Force

admin — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 06:09:49 +0000

Introduction Bali is an island that has been influenced over the centuries by many different cultures. Although Balia? S has religious roots of animism and ancestor worship, Hindu mythology and Buddhism have a major influence. But regardless of what they practice, one factor has remained the same: â?? Life in Bali is governed by religion? . It is therefore not surprising that the art of mask as a religious act, rather than making a quest to create a derivative aesthetic beauty. Masks shape piles and chthonic forces and are used in theatrical performances to teach adaptations of Sanskrit texts. In addition, dance theater masks to serve, â?? Planting and harvest festivals and in times of transition in the life of the individual and communitiesâ ????. Mask dances like Topeng on the politics of the past and present, and morality. I will continue the discussion on the mask dances in another section of this article. Theatre in Bali, Indonesia is more than one discipline to distinguish performance is intertwined with daily life. Theatre, like all art, is a part of religion and culture in Bali, so that all Balinese participate in the arts in any way. In addition, music, dance, costumes and drama are not separate entities, but parts of Balinese theater, drawing from each other to achieve their ultimate goal: the creation of the unit and harmony between the three worlds. In this article I’ll Balinese masks and the role of religious and socio-cultural they play in the Balinese theater to discuss. Balinese mythology and beliefs The Bali-Hindu religion permeates the foundation of the Company appointed Balinese, all aspects of life. Bali Hinduism, the roots of Indian Hinduism and Buddhism, adopted the animistic traditions of the natives, which kept the island in the first millennium BC. This influence strengthened the belief that the gods and goddesses in all things. Every element of nature, therefore, has its own power, the power of the gods reflects. A rock, tree, dagger, or tissue is a potential home for spirits whose energy can be judged good or bad. But also an art shop masks, wooden masks in an assembly line not sanctioned in order to attract tourists to be sold are known to possess. A former director of the Balia? S Art Center has a brief statement: â?? If you are an attractive house, anyone want to live there. â?? A desirable rate After Bali Hinduism, any principle or a positive constructive force there is an equally powerful destructive forces. They are sometimes called Right Forces (top) and the forces of the left (bottom). The two elements together, ideally in equilibrium, so that neither takes too much power. Maintaining this delicate balance is a constant concern for the Balinese, the daily sacrifices to feed the minds and keep them under control, and to plead for clemency to prepare. Offers or Banten, by type of ceremony and whether they are intended for low or high spirit. You can mix of incense, flowers, ancient Chinese coins, cloth, betel composed Arak (alcohol), holy water, decorated with palm leaves and flat. The food is not heard by the gods, but also functions as a way to be eaten with which to give people what rightly belongs, back to the spirits. The most important moment in the life of service is the dedication. After this happens, is important. Consequently offerings to Low Spirit, which are left on the soil are washed into the rule by the chickens and dogs. The biggest offer fun are included in the family home after a stay for some time on the temple, and edible parts are then eaten by family members. Balinese temples, adorned with a decorative display of stone sculptures are Airy, Open, surrounded by a wall and is divided by a large entrance door. After receiving a freestanding wall (aling-aling is). Beyond the wall is a large open room with many small shrines of various sizes, each dedicated to a different god or goddess. At the festivals of the temple are usually highly decorated black sanctuaries, and the faithful come to pray and give their offerings, and withdraw from speaking with friends. A festival is a very social occasion, enjoying their heyday in a live performance of dance masks or puppets made for all villagers and guests, the visiting spirits of the deities and ancestors, and even an occasional tourist . Dance and theatrical masks, made at the temples, under the odalan important as offerings to the gods and goddess. The gods would hesitate to attend every birthday party, where there is no entertainment. A mask dancer made an offer of its capacity every time it points out, in some instances act as a priest OA similar capabilities. Wali dances that allowed occur in the inner sanctum of the temple complex, are deified ancestors, the guests of honor were discussed, and tend to the spirits, rather than plot, character or history are included. Balinese mask performance The performance masks important rituals on the Indonesian island of Bali for more than a thousand years. Although many ancient societies used wooden masks to celebrate their religions, Bali is one of the few places where art thrives ritual has never disappeared and is, in fact. Woodcarvers produce more beautiful and elaborate wooden mask than ever, and thousands of people around the world to collect these objects required. The dissemination of Balinese artists and performance groups shows that there is a small island in a cultural renaissance in the heart of the beautiful Balinese masks Tapel. Masks represent gods, animals, demons, or people, and masks all or half masks as a function for which they can be used by the dance. Masks can also be sacred or non-religious, depending on its purpose and preparation. Because the Mystic Theatre in Bali the attention of so many foreigners in the country, non-sacred masks covered many for sale. But the best sculptors of the mask not abandoned his vocation to the holy, sacred masks, if they have one, create one? Feelings? to do so. The classification of Balinese masks of heroes, clowns and low spirits according to their qualities. The fiery hero (often an incarnation of the gods), the beautiful queens, kings, and to describe virtuous Halus, a word of Bali â?? Sweet, â?? â?? sweet one?? and â?? refined. â?? Low spirits, animals and the brutal nature, including antagonists of kings, as keras or A? Called? Stark, a?? â?? Gross, â?? and a??! vigorously. â?? There are some differences, which normally include clowns and servants. The three types of wooden masks used in these dramas depict people, animals and demons. Man looking full face masks or face a three-quarters (extension of the upper lip), or perhaps a movable jaw. They should resemble a certain character types rather than specific individuals. Heroes and heroines are stereotypically pretty, with refined features b correspond to the movements of dancers. The coarser one character, it is the most exaggerated features: eye contact, thicken the mouth and nose and teeth are fangs. Color is also used to reveal the character of the mask. masks of mythological animals that are realistic. Recognizing the distinction between man and animal, the Balinese emphasize the difference in designing animal masks in wood, which seem closely related to demons, even for God, powerful and magical animals such as the heroic and beautiful Hanuman the white monkey of the Ramayana epic. The birds, cows and even frogs have a gaping mouth and protruding teeth horrible. Eyes bulging with students looking black iris gold masks, which can hardly be as attractive in spite of the crown to develop and earrings. Perhaps the most exciting wooden masks are those of witches and spirits so-called weak. The weak minds that can be problematic, if not to be appeased, sometimes described by Westerners as demons. That is incorrect, since the weak minds carry power and protection are both dead. The Balinese do not separate natural from the supernatural. The spiritual world is a life force, must acknowledge and address by rituals and offerings. As the Balinese masks give the powers that belong to their roles and society, the masks of witches and spirits low, the largest and most grotesque of all traditional masks. The wigs require most of these wooden masks magnify the head and stature of the user. A unit mounted in the basket design considers the Wear? S head. Since the arrangement is relatively unstable, dancers often consistently their heavy wooden masks, while they dance. In some parts of Bali, Trance is a common part of rituals, moreover it is not zero. In Calonarang Barong mask and dramas, Trance is widespread. The subject of these dramas of witchcraft, the supernatural, and the battle of positive and negative forces. The main characters, Durga, the goddess of death as Rangda and Barong Ket, lord of the jungle, fighting with every ounce of power they can use magic, sometimes supported by an army. Kerambitan southwest of Bali is one of the areas of mind very active and the frequency of possession trance known. A dancer who has previously worked as director of the Balia? S Art Center tells the story of the Rangda and Barong masks Kerambitan his village: â?? Our pastor had a dream that should belong and Barong Rangda masks the village temple, so that we had created in the manner prescribed. Once they have been brought to their home temple, they began to fight with them while they were in their baskets. They created so much noise and excitement that the masks had to be separated. â?? Although the mask Rangda was moved to another temple, the two fought and the mask still Rangda mask was moved to another village. On the Maska? S combined birthday, the day they were both ordained, they had in the temple. Rangda was brought from another village, represented at the ceremony, then immediately removed. Balinese mask with supernatural power Masks as a powerful vessel for wandering spirits. A wooden mask is filled with divine energy tenget (metaphysically loaded). Made of a particular wood that is cut at certain times, masks tenget generally associated with a number of rituals. wooden masks, the state can tenget a special part of their energy over time and need to lose?? Recharged? in a special ceremony initiations renewed or new mask, called Pasupati, it can spread to more than ten days of parties, dance and Wayang Kulit (Shadow Puppets), cockfights and processions.
