The Performance
The dancer wears the mask and performs movements that tell the story of the character. The performance is accompanied by gamelan music and often takes place during ceremonies, festivals, and special occasions.
Spiritual Significance
Tari Topeng is not just a performance—it is a spiritual act. The dancer is believed to be possessed by the spirit of the character, serving as a bridge between the human and the spiritual worlds.
