Here in the village of Ngadas in Bromo, I think I just witnessed the most bizarre thing I've seen in Indonesia, or maybe in my entire life. This ritual is called Kuda Lumping. Kuda Lumping is a traditional Javanese dance originating from the story of Ronggo Lawe. Ronggolawe is considered a rebel of the Majapahit Kingdom, but for some people, particularly in Tuban, he was considered a hero. Kuda Lumping represents Ronggolawe's cavalry, with his horse, named Gagak Rimang. Dancers "ride" horses made from woven bamboo and decorated with colorful paints and cloth. Generally, the dance portrays troops riding horses, but another type of Kuda Lumping performance also incorporates trances and magic tricks. When the "possessed" dancer is performing the dance in trance conditions, he can display unusual abilities, such as eating glass and resistance to the effects of whipping or hot coals. This was just the first showing too. There was another performance that took place later that evening and also just two days later they did it all over again. If you want to see those, let me know. Thanks for watching!
