<![CDATA[The theatrical work Leukang Lam Klam (Lost in the Dark) is based on a personal experience of losing a father due to the 2004 Aceh tsunami, along with the inner struggle of longing, pain, and acceptance of fate. This work aims to transform this emotional experience into a theatrical performance art form that represents the trauma of the Aceh tsunami through the psychological journey of the main character. The method used in creating this work is practice-based research, an approach that places the creative process as a central component in producing artistic knowledge. The creative process refers to the stages of artistic creation, including exploration, improvisation, and formation. The results show that Leukang Lam Klam is formed through five scenes depicting the stages of loss, inner conflict, psychological turmoil, and acceptance of reality. The use of symbols such as white cloth and a wooden ladder as artistic elements reinforces the meanings of loss, attachment, home, and hope. This work demonstrates that personal experience can be developed into a performing art work that possesses aesthetic value while also providing a space for reflection on trauma, longing, and the process of coming to terms with the past.]]>
