The cliff road descends and the ocean fills the view—warm light strobes off limestone faces as dozens of performers take a stepped circle on the black-sand edge. At Melasti Beach the Kecak and Fire Dance unfolds against a burned-gold sunset: layered voices rise and fall like a wave, flames punctuate shadowed faces, and the sea keeps time beyond the stage.
