Taman Werdi Budaya

Description:

• This large complex houses theaters and galleries. Once a year it hosts The Bali Arts Festival (which runs from mid-June to mid-July). The museum here boasts paintings, a number of barongs and some sculptures. The main focus here are the stages: one outdoor amphitheater can seat up to 7,000. A much smaller outdoor stage, Tetaling, is the venue for more traditional village-style performances; the Wantilan is an indoor, in-the-round theater (where the audience sits on all three sides of the acting space) and the Ksriranawa stage is a proscenium stage seating 500. Performances of traditional as well as contemporary works are staged here. Check the local tourist newspaper for special events.
