A low roar of ocean and the last yellow edge of sun set the stage as you approach Uluwatu Temple’s cliffside amphitheater. The rock underfoot smells faintly of salt and dust; far below, waves strike the reef with a patient insistence. As the sky deepens, dozens of male performers take their places and the Kecak’s interlocking ‘chak’ rises like a living drum, pulling attention from the horizon to the circle of fire and motion.
