Reyog: A wayang topeng masked dance in which a great leering tiger's head or monster's headmask with peacock feathers on top is worn. Sometimes weighing 50 kilos and up to 500 mm tall, it rests on the nape of the neck and is held by the teeth. Though they only have small builds, Reyog dancers have unbelievably strong neck muscles due to dancing many hours wearing this heavy highlydecorated headpiece. It's said to be impossible to strangle these dancers with your hands. The story features a local king desiring the daughter of a neighboring king. She doesn't desire him, so after some fighting takes place she assigns her prospective husband an impossible task: to dig a tunnel from his palace to her father's palace. You may be bored by the story of the success of good over evil, but the average villager sits enthralled and wideeyed for 4 hours. This dance is now encouraged by the East Java Tourist Development Board to attract tourists. You can hire a whole performance for about Rp6-7000 per hour. The Balinese Sarong dance might have been derived from the Reyog.
