...Tours coinciding with the first night of a full moon culminate in Mepantigan, a performance created by taekwondo champion Putu Witsen Widjaya that integrates martial arts with Balinese folklore, shadow puppetry and fire-eating. It's highly entertaining, but Green School doesn't need to go to such lengths to impress. The thoughtful design is diversion enough...
