Bambangan Cakil

[2] This dance-drama demonstrates wayang performance due to the movement is adopted from one of the scenes in wayang kulit performance, that is the Perang Kembang scene.

[3] The Perang Kembang told about war between kesatria and raksasa.

The dance-drama war[4] between kesatria (Bambangan) against raksasa (Cakil) could also be used as a place for a dalang's judgment in moving a puppet.

In Javanese culture, kesatria are always considered to be good figures, willing to defend the truth, to help others, etc.

For example, in the Mahabharata story, Kurawa does not have a kesatria title, even though he has the same ancestors as the Pandava.
