Présentation de l'éditeur
In Bali, what you see—sekala—is a colorful world of ceremony, ritual, dance, and drama. What you don't see—niskala—is the doctrine underlying the pageants, the code underlying the rites, and the magic underlying the dance. Bali: Sekala & Niskala explores both tangibles and intangibles in the realm of Balinese religion, ritual and performing arts.
