Benda kerajinan dengan ekspresi dingin ini dapat berubah menjadi 'hidup' dalam balutan beragam tradisi yang ada di Indonesia. Selama berabad-abad para seniman telah menyempurnakan seni membuat topeng yang kebanyakan digunakan untuk tujuan ritual dan hiburan keluarga kerajaan. Berbahan kayu, diukir dan dilukis dengan tangan terampil serta dihias dengan hati-hati untuk menyimbolkan kebaikan, kejahatan, dan kebijaksanaan, topeng-topeng berikut ini menampilkan khazanah Indonesia yang menarik sekaligus mistis.


Cirebon - Jawa Barat
Berada di sisi utara pulau Jawa, kawasan ini tidak hanya memiliki tradisi batik tetapi juga punya budaya membuat topeng yang melegenda. Dipercaya sama usianya dengan Kasunanan Cirebon, topeng-topeng dibuat khusus untuk pertunjukkan tari-tarian saat perayaan agama, dan festival kerajaan. Terdapat lima karakter pada tradisi topeng Cirebon: Rahwana, Tumenggung, Rumyang, Samba and Panji, semua memiliki karakter berbeda yang menampilkan baik dan buruk. Menurut kepercayaan masyarakat setempat topeng dapat digunakan sebagai penangkal bala.


Bali
Topeng di Bali khusus digunakan untuk tarian yang sakral selama perayaan keagamaan. Topeng hanya bisa dibuat oleh para Brahmana (kasta tertinggi) dan para menari yang mengenakan topeng bercerita tentang berbagai peristiwa kehidupan yang berhubungan erat dengan budaya dan agama. Terdapat empat jenis topeng Bali: karakter manusia, binatang, dewa, dan roh jahat, bisa berupa topeng penuh atau hanya setengah. Yang paling menarik adalah topeng Barong dan Rangda (dua mahluk mistik Bali).  Dengan detil riasan mengagumkan serta hiasan rambut asli, keduanya menjadi souvenir asal Bali yang paling banyak disukai.


Dayak - Kalimantan Timur
Selain rumah betang dan tradisi tato, hudoq (topeng dalam bahasa Dayak) dengan detil ukiran dan warna yang mencerminkan mahluk liar, hama, dan mahluk gaib adalah hal lain yang membuat Dayak dikenal di mancanegara. Keberadaannya sangat penting, terutama saat musim tanam dimana mereka mengadakan tari Hudoq untuk melindungi tanaman dari hama. Kamu dapat menemukan ritual ini di desa-desa Dayak Bahau dan Busang di pedalaman Kalimantan Timur. Bersiaplah karena tarian hudoq dapat berlangsung hingga lebih dari 5 jam.

Setiap garis yang dibuat, setiap ornamen yang ada pada setiap topeng, semuanya telah dirancang sedemikian rupa untuk mengekspresikan tingkah dan perilaku dari individu yang ingin ditampilkan. Lihat tarian topeng diatas, nikmati gerakannya dan tak lupa ambil beberapa foto.

Calendar Event / Re: Extraordinary Cap Go Meh Festivities in Singkawang
« Last post by elekzohar on March 07, 2013, 02:26:23 PM »
Idea of a holiday is staying in small independent B&Bs within quaint fishing villages, and your idea of hell is a fortnight in Las Vegas, then a river cruise may suit you. Without any of the traditional glitz and glam, these intimate cruises afford you the opportunity to take in the surroundings of your destinations, rather than your co-passengers. Large traditional cruise ships carry up to 2000 people, where as a river ship has a typical capacity of 100 and some as small as 35.

In the midst of our daily hustle and bustle, we have a tendency to become detached from our innate connection to nature. It seems to be getting more difficult to take the time to truly experience what our natural world has to offer, and to remember what a huge role the ocean plays in our daily human existence. Sometimes you simply have to see it to believe it, and small ship Cruises to Antarctica offer an up-close look at a part of our world, few will ever have the chance to truly experience.
