Pengelana yang telah pulang









A feature showing images of Carpan, who was born in a village in Indramayu district, and who began to dance using traditional masks from a very early age. Indramayu, Indonesia. 31/12/2009.
Carpan, was born in the village of the district Filled Cibereng Indramayu, west java, Indonesia began to dance mask dance since he was young. Gentle movement of the distinguished mask dances with another mask. Until that stunned many when he began moving his fingers where he began his dance mask.
Dance mask of Carpan only be enjoyed during a ceremony at the district Ngarot Lelea, because he did not dance for another event.
Another uniqueness of the mask dance is the duration of the barracks Carpan for her danced. In presenting the dance he danced at least seven hours, and without stopping. If he was asked to dance in an event that did not specify the duration he did not accept the offer of a gig. It is said that when he was young he had to dance day and night.
He just wanted to dance with a minimum duration of 7 hours. Whether the underlying reason. But clearly, it is a condition when she had to dance.
Dance masks also philosophically and psychologically in order teach us to have a pure soul (such as mask dance Bannerman), optimistic and confident (Rumyang mask dance), tough and strong (Tumenggung masks) and we expected to avoid the ways of thinking and acting emotionally (like a mask Klana and Pamindo), also avoiding the nature of greed and wrath (Klana masks and Ravana).
Now the age of starting to reduce doses of dance, over time, also the fans forget Carpan. No one can dance like him.
