The Aesthetics of the Hanoman Character in the Performing Arts of the Indonesia-Thailand Ramayana Stories
Abstract
This article explains the aesthetics of the Hanoman character in the performing arts of the Indonesia-Thailand Ramayana stories. Ramayana stories are written by Valmiki from India, and Hanoman is described as a “white monkey” in these stories. Indonesia and Thailand are two states in Southeast Asia where the characters in the Ramayana stories undergo the so-called adaptation process. Hanoman is one of the characters. Therefore, the objective of this research was to describe the aesthetics of the Hanoman character in the context of performing arts. Qualitative descriptive methods were used. Data were collected through interviews with key informants and observations of Ramayana legacies in Indonesia and Thailand. The results show that the aesthetics of the Hanoman character are created from the image of local wisdom that is influenced by the spiritual mentality of Hinduism.
Keywords: adaptation process, performing arts, spiritual mentality
