<![CDATA[Every artwork is viewed as a network of interconnected meaning, forming a dynamic structure akin to a spider's web. This view is reflected in Dance Drama and Sundanese Kawih, both of which adapt the Jaya Perkosa episode from the Babad Sumedang script.

Intertextuality contributes to connecting old texts with contemporary contexts, thereby facilitating a meeting between tradition and modernity. This process demonstrates that cultural texts are continually in dynamic negotiation with an ever-evolving reality.]]>
