3. Sinkil
a. Derivative of Darangen . The name of the dance itself means "to entangle the feet with disturbing objects such as vines or anything in your path." The lead dancer, in the role of Putri Gandingan (the Darangen name for Sita).
The Bayanihan version attempts to blatantly exposit the story as per Western conventions, and re-tells the Darangen. The dance itself narrates a scene where Putri Gandingan escapes her abductor, the demon king Lawana, and is lost in the forests of Alangka. She is finally found by another person, but the Darangen
and the Ramayana differ as to the identity of this person: the former
recounts that Rajah Bantugan found her, while the latter states that it
was the god Hanuman who found Sita on Rama's behest. The modification of this detail possibly suggests acculturation, where the monistic, Hindu aspects of the narrative were edited to conform with the monotheistic beliefs of Islam. wikipedia, address: < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darangen >
