	On Ketjak
		Ketjak is written in series of expanding paragraphs where the sentences of one paragraph are repeated in order in subsequent paragraphs with additional sentences inserted between them, recontextualizing them.
		Ketjak is written to force the reader to notice his or her own recognition of each sentence and the composition of its elements into one image or concept at a time, and then to see the ways by which the reader adds these up by means of contiguity and the familiar touch of recall.
		Ketjak is the opposite of casual or causal collage; it does not push toward a whole so much as it reveals the habitual urge toward assembling what Silliman, in his interview in The Difficulties special issue and elsewhere, has called "the tyranny of the whole,"

	A 1982 Interview with Ron Silliman
		Ketjak, which in many respects marks my adulthood as a writer, was the next step in my work as a poet, not a step away The concept for Ketjak had been in my mind for at least a year, but I didn't know how to proceed with it.
		Ketjak is structured so that every paragraph has twice as many sentences as the previous paragraph, with every other sentence being a repetition of the sentences (in exactly the same order) from the previous paragraph.
		Unlike Ketjak, where development from one occurrence of a sentence to the next is minimal, I took a device from "2197," one of the works in The Age of Huts, in which a recurring sentence is radically rewritten so as to appear distorted, broken, artificial.

		In its pure form, the ketjak dance is a religious ceremony performed—sometimes for several hours on successive nights, for three to four months—to exorcise evil during times of peril and pestilence.
		The gamelan orchestra that accompanies most Balinese dance performances is generally absent during a ketjak performance, replaced by the sounds of a male chorus similar to the rhythms of the gamelan.
		While audiences and photography are not welcome during religious performances of ketjak, recently the "tourist ketjak" has emerged—an abbreviated version of the dance, performed for entertainment.

	Into the wormhole
		The Ketjak dance is familiar to all visiting tourists of Bali; there is no exact way it is performed, it could be solely as a dance routine or on a different occasion, stories are told as the dancing takes place.
		Gambuh is a Balinese drama that served an important political function; 'it told the tales of political and romantic exploits of the courts of East Java.' Similarly, Shakespeare wrote plays that reflected the political situation in the English courts.
		Instead of having a narrator that is commonly used in Ketjak and certain Balinese dramas, the characters will deliver their lines in a melodious way with the accompanying music.

	U B U W E B :: Ketjack (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		"While the ketjak is a creation of this century, it is descended from something much more ancient — the trance dance, the dance of exorcism called sanghjang; its ancestry is clear.
		Ostensibly, the ketjak is a reenactment of the battle described in the Ramayana epic — in which the monkey hordes came to the aid of Prince Rama in his battle with the evil King Ravana — complete with a chorus imitating monkeys, as they chant the syllable tjak.
		As pointed out by Walter Spies and Beryl de Zoete in Dance and Drama in Bali, "Most of the movements are exorcistic in origin and contribute together to produce a tremendous unity of mood … to drive out evil as by an incantation.

		It is hard to believe that the Ketjak and the Djanger really had the same origin; one seems to have lost its soul in a tangle of dissipating influences, while the other has only enhanced its magic.
		It is impossible to write about the Ketjak without particular mention of the great Baris dancer, Limbak, who was responsible for the development of the most famous group of Ketjak that of north Bedoeloe, and who still dominates and inspires it.
		But the Ketjak was of purely Balinese inspiration; there were already two Ketjak groups in the wards of north and south Bedoeloe, and there was a moment when south Bedoeloe had very much the ascendancy.

		The text has not been edited to reflect various orthographic changes that were made to the bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian language) in 1972; e.g., the current official spelling of âketjakâ is kecak.
		The âketjakâ (pronounced âkechakâ; spelled kecak at the present time) was recorded in the village of Peliatan.

		A unique blend of music, movement, and dramatic action, ketjak was created in its present form in the 1930s as a new accompaniment for the Ramayana dance drama.
		Ketjak was based on a ritual exorcism in which young girls are put into trance with prayers, incense, a female singing choir, and rhythmically interlocking chanting performed by a male chorus.
		In modern ketjak (often called simply "tjak") the chorus of chanting men can be enlarged to 100 or more chanter/dancers, who sit in concentric circles around an oil lamp at night.

		The other 11 discs in this Explorer reissue series adequately chronicle that aspect, as does Side One of "Golden Rain," which contains an explosive, gong-based piece and a stately dance piece that are quite reflective of indigenous styles.
		Side Two -- the infamous Side Two -- is given over to a ketjak piece, "The Ramayana Monkey Chant": 22 minutes of frenzied chest-beating, chanting, grunting, ground-thumping and general mayhem orchestrated by a chorus of nearly 100 men and a dozen or so solo singers and dancers.
		The monkey chant is a creation of this century, designed to entertain tourists.

		I was accompanying Madame Lied Von Praag whose husband, Hans (something of a legend in the Bedugul hills), was with the great German cinematographer Baron Von Plesson in April 1932 when something magical and historical happened.
		The rest is history, or would be (but for the inspired Sardono-Teges collaboration) for since the tourism boom the Ketjak Dance has become more and more like a "Kodak moment".
		Tonight, under the banyan tree, beyond the new "711" Banjar mini-mart and the hubbub of modern Ubud (Spies’ old stomping ground) dancers Rinta and Longho staged a sizzling simian-simulation that had an audience of experts agog with wonder at this re-instated import.
