Jathilan: Trance and Possession in Java Quote
Bondon Nusantara - Jathilan Enthusiast: Artistically, the movements of Jathilan are really harsh and expressive. This was in contrast to the movements of the court dances, which are refined and organized. I see that as a form of resistance from the people. A resistance against the forms of the Royal Court. Because they couldn't do the same things as the aristocrats, they have their own artistic expression that is now called Jathilan.
