Ratna Manggali is the title of the performance and even tough it has some funny parts done by the punkawan but the performance is still very magical and creepy. In the end of the show, men stabbed the Rangda and then stabbed himself. “The action carried out by the dancer is one of the attractions of the show and it often connected with magic power of body strength,” said Ni Kadek Sunintri, the one who play as Ratna Manggali.
