(Indonesia, 18th) A traditional cultural festival was held last weekend in Bogor City, West Java Province, Indonesia, where dancers from East Java performed the traditional theatrical dance, 'Ponorogo Dance', showcasing Indonesia's rich and colorful traditional cultural arts.
The biggest highlight of the Ponorogo Dance (Reog Ponorogo) is the main dancer performing while wearing a giant lion mask decorated with peacock feathers and weighing up to 40 kilograms, creating a strong visual impact. Fusing dance, music, and mythology, it symbolizes courage, unity, and the spirit of mutual assistance. It is a national intangible cultural heritage of Indonesia, and in late 2024, it was listed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
