Gamelan Sekar Jaya's innovative works have delighted audiences all the way from New York City to remote Balinese villages. The 50-member ensemble of musicians and dancers teams up once again with some of Bali's most brilliant artists, including several from Bali's National Academy of the Arts, for a command return performance of Kawit Legong: Prince Karna's Dream. By turns "sensuous, exotic and charming (San Francisco Chronicle), this dramatic realization of a centuries-old Balinese legend tells a story surrounding the birth of Legong, the famed "dance of the celestial nymphs" first seen in a meditative dream by a 19th-century prince. A striking array of projected giant-screen shadow lighting effects created by San Francisco's ShadowLight Productions highlights the multiple dimensions of the Balinese universe, from the "seen" world of humans to the "unseen" magical world of the gods.
