My experience when I visited in Blora city

Art of Barong in Blora

Art of Barong In Blora City
            Art of Barong or more known as the art of Barongan that typical of central java. However, from several region in central java, just in Blora city this art more popular when compare with the other districts. Barong performances are usually done by the community for celebration event.
            Barong art in my view and from the stories by Blora peoples, this art has something mystic. When I see the barong art, the game of barong art very dangerous. Because at the time when the game was started and the player of Barong perform, they felt unable to control themselves. As I have ever seen, the players of Barong eating the dangerous object. For example, broken glass, wood or object that can not be eating by humans in general. Although Barong very dangerous game, but the player of Barong as well as the people of Blora really like this game and they still preserve the art of Barong.
