When big religion ceremony occurred there must be art performances involved for example Balinese Dance, since it's closely associated with religious processions. A female dancer performs not only for the people to see but also present it to God. She does the moves gracefully and tell the story by expressing it through her face mimic.

Balinese kids are enthusiastic to watch dance performances as they take over the front row. in the middle of a dance performance a fully dressed dancing figure called 'Jauk Tunggal' gives hi-five to a boy and it immediately cheers him up. It's already late at night when people come to see and they are wearing the same traditional clothing.

Keben, traditional Balinese crafted box filled with elements to be presented to God are put together at the back of audience who gathered and continuously watching a historical - mystical drama shown at midnight until early morning. Not only as a ceremony but people sincerely come to celebrate it. More people come as the night gets late although they have to sit on the ground.
