PANJI TRADITION IN THE JARANAN JOR AND WAYANG TIMPLONG PERFORMANCE ARTS IN EAST JAVA

Abstract

The people of East Java are still familiar with Panji tradition as their collective memory. Panji tradition is actualized in the form of art performances, such as Jaranan Jor (Blitar) and Wayang Timplong (Nganjuk). Jaranan Jor and Wayang Timplong are still often performed for various purposes which mean that both are still functional in society. This paper aims to reveal the Panji tradition in performing arts in East Java, especially Jaranan Jor (Blitar) and Wayang Timplong (Nganjuk). It also tries to reveal a shift of the function of both performances based on their actualization in today's society. Jaranan Jor has changed its function in society, from the function of ritual ceremonies into entertainment (spectacle) function. Wayang Timplong is still functioning as a ritual ceremony of Nyadran (village cleaning). However, Wayang Timplong also serves as entertainment as well as various social communal activities such as marriage, circumcision, nadar etc.
