Lengger is a traditional Javanese dance from Banyumas, Central Java. It has gained a brisk yet brief popularity since the movie Kucumbu Tubuh Indahku was released in 2018. According to beliefs associated with Lengger, spirits are thought to possess the bodies of male dancers who are dressed up in female clothing. The word “lengger” itself is derived from the Javanese phrase diarani leng jebule jengger, which means “initially assumed to be a woman, but later revealed to be a man.” In essence, Lengger is a cultural heritage that passes beyond art, but rather embraces the diverse gender and identity.
