Abstract

This study examines the role of Amaq abir traditional theatre in communicating ethical values associated with the principles of Pancasila within the Sasak community of West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Preserved by Sanggar Pustaka Budaya in Central Lombok, Amaq abir represents an important form of local cultural heritage that conveys social and moral meanings beyond its artistic function. In the context of globalization, the growing influence of global culture has raised concerns regarding cultural continuity, identity formation, and shifts in moral values. This research employs a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach to explore how Pancasila-related values are articulated through traditional performance practices. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with performers and community members, and documentation of rehearsals and performances. The findings indicate that Amaq abir performances communicate ethical values associated with the five principles of Pancasila through narrative dialogues, symbolic masks, traditional musical accompaniment, and collective participation. Values related to religiosity, humanity, unity, deliberation, and social responsibility are expressed both within the storyline and through the social interactions surrounding the performance. These findings suggest that traditional performing arts may function as culturally embedded spaces for character education and moral reflection within community life.

Abstract

The Brendung ritual represents a rain-invocation tradition that continues to be practiced by the community of Langensari Village, Kesesi District, Pekalongan Regency, Indonesia. This ritual incorporates klothekan music, performed using various household objects as musical instruments. This study aims to analyze the musical structure of klothekan within the Brendung ritual, to examine the relationship between musical structure and ritual processes, and to interpret its cultural significance within the community’s social life. A qualitative research design was employed using an ethnomusicological approach. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with ritual specialists, musicians, and community leaders, as well as audiovisual documentation during ritual performances. The analysis focused on musical structure, including rhythmic patterns, inter-instrumental relationships, and emergent musical dynamics within klothekan performance. The findings indicate that klothekan music is constructed through simple yet interdependent rhythmic patterns performed collectively using an interlocking system among instruments such as boyong, bamboo slit drums (kentongan), buckets, cans, and metal trays. Repetitive rhythmic structures function to generate a ritual atmosphere that facilitates trance states and intensifies participants’ emotional engagement. Furthermore, klothekan music holds significant cultural meanings, functioning as a medium for ritual legitimization, social integration, spiritual communication, and the reinforcement of cultural identity. These findings demonstrate that klothekan music operates not merely as an accompaniment to ritual activities, but as a symbolic medium that sustains and amplifies collective ritual experience within the Brendung tradition.
