Pentahelix Model of Cultural Transmission in Wayang On The Street Performances in Semarang’s Old Town
Get PDFThe sustainability of traditional performing arts in the modern era requires innovative strategies to ensure cultural relevance and intergenerational transmission. This study investigates the cultural transmission process within the Wayang On The Street (WOTS) performance, held in the Old Town area of Semarang in 2024, as a collaborative model integrating traditional values into contemporary public spaces. Employing a descriptive qualitative case study, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with artists, cultural officials, and community members, and documentation of the Pandawa Pitu performance during the Semarang Old Town Festival. The analysis focuses on the interaction among actors within the pentahelix framework—academics, government, business, media, and community—in sustaining traditional performing arts in urban contexts. Findings reveal that WOTS serves not only as a platform for artistic expression but also as a medium for cultural education, public participation, and community empowerment. The synergy among stakeholders strengthens the adaptive capacity of traditional arts and fosters sustainable cultural ecosystems. This study contributes to the theoretical development of cultural transmission by emphasizing the role of multi-stakeholder collaboration as a foundation for innovative cultural preservation in contemporary society
Revealing the Symbolic Meaning of Heri Dono\u27s Flying Angels: From Paul Ricoeur\u27s Hermeneutic Perspective
Get PDFFlying Angels (1996) by Heri Dono is examined in this article as a visual installation rich in symbolic complexity and interpretive openness. This work is selected as the object of study to explore how Paul Ricoeur’s hermeneutic framework can be applied to reveal the layered meanings embedded in contemporary visual art. Employing a qualitative descriptive method grounded in Ricoeur’s textual hermeneutics, the research positions the artwork as an autonomous visual discourse that generates meaning beyond the artist’s original intention. The analysis focuses on visual, symbolic, and narrative elements, particularly the representation of angelic figures rendered grotesque, mechanical, and ironic. Through hermeneutic interpretation, these angels—traditionally associated with purity, transcendence, and moral authority—are understood as ambivalent symbols that articulate tensions between spirituality, technology, and social critique within modernity. The mechanical movements, hybrid materials, and vivid colours operate as a symbolic system reflecting the distortion of spiritual values under technological rationality and globalised cultural conditions. The findings demonstrate that Flying Angels functions not merely as an aesthetic installation, but as an open visual text that invites critical reflection on the erosion of spirituality, processes of dehumanisation, and the transformation of traditional values in the technological era. By emphasising Ricoeur’s concepts of distanciation, surplus of meaning, and dialogical interpretation, this study contributes to Indonesian contemporary art discourse and underscores the relevance of hermeneutic approaches in expanding interpretive dialogue across cultural and temporal contexts.
Presentation of Tortor Bejan at Traditional Ceremonies of the Batak Toba Community
Get PDFTortor Bejan is an activity performed in the traditional death ceremony known as Mambejan or Patortorhon Parangin. In this ritual, the deceased is symbolically brought to life in order to commemorate their life. This tradition was formerly performed once every five years and lasted for forty days. However, over time, Tortor Bejan is now performed only once a year and lasts for a single night. This study focuses on the presentation form of Tortor Bejan. The analysis employs Soedarsono’s theory of presentation, which defines dance presentation as the overall manner of performance, encompassing the main elements of a dance. The findings indicate that Tortor Mambejan is a ritual dance that symbolically revives ancestral spirits through a statue as a form of respect for ancestral contributions. Before the performance of Tortor Bejan, Tortor Mangaraksa Desa Nawalu is first performed by a male dancer. During the Bejan ritual, one highly respected ancestor is selected. If the ancestor passed away under the condition of Saur Matua, the Bejan statue must not be made of wood but from the ancestor’s bones. The dance is called Tortor Bejan because, during the performance, ancestral spirits are symbolically revived through a “kailit” statue known as Bejan. The performance of Tortor Bejan uses costumes made of Batak Toba ulos fabric with traditional makeup and is accompanied by Gondang Suling Ni Happang Na Opat and Gondang Sahala Raja

Teren Bas is a unique Maumere instrument resembling a one-stringed contrabass, played using a stick in a percussive manner. The aim of this research is to identify the organological, acoustic, and musical characteristics of the Teren Bas from a musicological perspective. The method employed is qualitative-descriptive with a musicological approach. The findings indicate that Orkes Kampoeng Wangak is a contemporary ethnic music ensemble that blends Maumere traditions into a modern format. The Teren Bas is constructed from kemiri (candlenut) wood, producing a rounded and rhythmic bass sound. Its playing patterns include the styles of Kripso, Langgam, Mars, and Dolo-Dolo, which reflect the cultural roots of Maumere. In the arrangement of “Gemu Fa Mi Re,” the Teren Bas serves as the rhythmic core and a symbol of musical identity, creatively combined with other instruments such as the juk, benyol, violin, flute, and jimbe. The arrangement process integrates modern chord progressions, energetic musical structures, and local sound explorations typical of Maumere through both traditional and non-traditional instruments
