Comment

The dancer-choreographer MARIO, famous throughout Indonesia, created this new ballet in 1951 and gave it the rather extraordinary name of "Tumililingan". This story is that of a charming young bee who forages for the first time and discovers the garden, the flowers... while dancing. So a conquering young hornet tries to court her; the little bee disdainfully pushes him away. (Cf. DT Registration Indonesia: File "Bali - BM. 53.1": 1 booklet "Ballets de Bali")
