Keywords:
Berokan, traditional art, ruwatan, pageblug, sesajenAbstract
This study aims to describe and analyse the Berokan performing arts in the ruwatan procession in Indramayu, presented as a dance. Berokan is one of the traditional arts of the Indramayu community. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method, examined through ethnochoreology, and employs hermeneutics theory to enhance the analysis of texts, signs, and symbols. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, documentation studies, and literature review. The results show that the Berokan performance includes ruwat, a cleansing ceremony to eliminate negativity and ward off dangers. In Javanese society, an epidemic is known as pageblug, a situation where a particular area is affected by disease. The Berokan art form in ruwat serves as an alternative treatment for a sick family member and as protection against calamities. The ritual is performed inside the house using offerings, with the Berokan reciting prayers in accordance with Islamic teachings.
