The Dancer
by Ahmad Tohari
Description
The spirit of Hamlet Paruk back stretched since Srintil was crowned a new ronggeng, replacing the last ronggeng that died twelve years ago. For the small, poor, remote and modest population, ronggeng is a symbol. Without it, the shaman feels lost his identity. Srintil soon became a very famous and loved figure. Beautiful and seductive. Everyone wants to be with that ronggeng From ordinary subjects to village and district officials. But the political catastrophe in 1965 made the hamlet destroyed, both physically and mentally. Because of their ignorance, they are carried away and convicted as human beings who have shaken this country. The hamlet was burned. Ronggeng and his drummers were arrested.
It was only because of her beauty that Srintil was not treated arbitrarily by the authorities in the prison. But his bitter experience as a political prisoner made Srintil aware of his human dignity.
