Interviews in Malay with two leading dancers are included: Raka and Sukraka. Commentary and interview are by Asian dance authority Faubion Bowers. The dances are: \"Djuak\", a duet with drum and demon; \"Oleg Tambulilingam\", a dance of two bees; \"Kebyar Terompong\", a seated dance in which the body mirrors the performing instrument; and \"Legong Kraton\", a stylized dance for three children. Balinese dancers are trained from the earliest years. Their art is a combination of dance, theater, and musicianship. Their audience is familiar with a large vocabulary of gestures that describe their world and everything in it, including animals, royalty and emotions. Faubion Bowers was a noted academic and writer in the area of Asian Studies, especially Japanese theatre. He also wrote the first full-length biography of Russian composer Alexander Scriabin.
