East-West Center Friendship Circle (outdoors)
Free admission, no RSVP required
Chair seating is limited on a first-come, first-served basis; bring your own mat/blanket/low chair for ground seating comfort
Performed by the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Center for Southeast Asian Studies Balinese Gamelan Music and Dance Ensemble, featuring instrumental music performed live on gamelan instruments, and dances performed to recorded music.
Balinese music and dance are well known for their virtuosity and dynamic character. In Bali, musicians and dancers work together to create highly unified performances where the music and dance are interrelated and inseparable. Taksu is Sanskritic Hindu Balinese for “inner energy,” ”creative soul,” or “creative genius.”
