Trance and Dance in Bali
- Synopsis
- The Balinese ceremonial dance drama in which the never-ending struggle between the witch and the dragon, the death-dealing and the life-protecting, is played out to the accompaniment of comic interludes and violent trance seizures. Balinese music forms a background for the narration. Made from original material shot by Margaret Mead between 1936 and 1938. A Penn State Media Sales film.
