A New Dance Drama by Ramayana Ballet Purawisata – Yogyakarta’s Legendary Cultural Theater
From the team behind the iconic Ramayana Ballet Purawisata—Indonesia’s longest-running cultural performance with a 48-year legacy and MURI record—comes an all-new creation: “Re-Inkarnasi Cinta Roro Jonggrang” (Roro Jonggrang: Reincarnation of Love).
This mesmerizing Javanese dance-drama brings a different legend to life—one deeply tied to Prambanan Temple and the mysterious Durga statue inside it. Crafted with the same high artistic standards and accompanied by a live gamelan orchestra, this new show is a must-see cultural experience for both first-time visitors and returning fans of Javanese performing arts.
The Story – Between Love and Vengeance
The performance tells the powerful tale of Roro Jonggrang, a princess forced into a fateful agreement with Bandung Bondowoso, the man who conquered her kingdom. To avoid marriage, she demands he build a thousand temples in one night. When he nearly succeeds, she intervenes—and is cursed, turning her into stone.
What sets this retelling apart is its emotional depth: a focus on the conflict between love and betrayal, and how even in vengeance, love may still live on—waiting to be reborn.
The Prambanan Connection – See the Temple in a New Light
If you plan to visit Prambanan Temple, this performance adds rich layers of context. The Durga statue inside the main temple—often admired but not always understood—is believed to be Roro Jonggrang herself, cursed into stone.
After watching this show, your temple visit won’t just be visual—it will feel personal. You’ll walk through Prambanan with a deeper connection to its mythology, understanding the human emotions and choices behind its sacred stones.
