The dance-drama war[4] between kesatria (Bambangan) against raksasa (Cakil) could also be used as a place for a dalang's judgment in moving a puppet.
Philosophy
editIn Javanese culture, kesatria are always considered to be good figures, willing to defend the truth, to help others, etc.[5] The kesatria title is given, rather than being heredity. For example, in the Mahabharata story, Kurawa does not have a kesatria title, even though he has the same ancestors as the Pandava.
On the other hand, raksasa are characterised as rough, violent and dynamic.
Characterizations
editIn the Bambangan Cakil dance-drama, Arjuna is depicted as kesatria, while Cakil is depicted as raksasa.[6]
