Ki Ageng Lice wrath will the strong influence of the Chinese co-king in the government and the corrupt behavior of the king, he saw that the power of the Majapahit Kingdom will end. He then left the king and founded the college where he teaches young kids martial arts, science, self-immunity, and the science of perfection in the hope that these young children will be the seed of the resurrection of the Majapahit kingdom again later. Aware that his forces are too small to fight the royal troops Ki Ageng the political message conveyed through the performing arts Lice Reog, which is a "satire" to the King and his kingdom Kertabumi Bra. A show Ki Ageng Reog be a way to build resistance Lice local communities using Reog popularity.

Featured in the show Reog mask lion-shaped head, known as "Singa Barong", king of the jungle, which became a symbol for Kertabumi, and above it is plugged in peacock feathers to resemble a giant fan that symbolize the strong influence of his Chinese colleagues who manage the over all motion- geriknya.

However, the arts Reognya still allowed to be staged because the show has become popular among the public, but the story has a new groove in which added characters from folklore Ponorogo Kelono Sewondono namely, the Goddess Songgolangit, and Sri Genthayu.
The official version of the story line Reog Ponorogo now is the story of King Ponorogo who intend applying for princess of Kediri, Dewi Ragil Yellow, but the middle of the journey he was intercepted by King Singabarong of Kediri. King Singabarong troops consisting of peacocks and lions, while the King of the Kingdom of Ponorogo Bujanganom Kelono and his Deputy, escorted by warok (men dressed in black in the dance), and warok has a deadly black magic. The whole dance is a dance battle between the Kingdom and the Kingdom of Kediri Ponorogo, and pitted black magic between them, the dancers in a state of 'possession' when staged dance.

Art scene in reog usually do not follow the scenario laid out. Here there is always interaction between the player and the puppeteer (usually the leader of that group) and sometimes with the audience. Sometimes a player's performances can be replaced by another player when that player fatigue. Even more overlooked in staging reog art is to give satisfaction to the audience.

The last scene is a lion barong, where the actors wear masks lion-shaped head with a crown made of peacock feathers. Weight masks can reach 50-60 kg. Heavy mask was brought by the dancers with their teeth. The ability to bring these masks in addition to the weight gained by training, is also believed diproleh with spiritual practices like fasting and penance
