Personifikasi sebagai Basis Rekonstruksi Dramaturgi Idalupa Alue Glong Naga di Aceh Barat

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan perbedaan pertunjukan Sanggar Seni Alue Glong Naga dengan grup Dalupa lain dengan jalan menelusuri cerita yang melatarbelakanginya. Penelitian kualitatif ini berfokus pada asal-usul kemunculan grup, varian kisah yang dibawakan, dan alasan perbedaan bentuk pertunjukannya dibanding grup lain. Proses penelitian dilaksanakan dari April hingga November 2023 melalui tiga tahap: (1) prapenelitian, (2) penelitian lapangan, dan (3) pascapenelitian. Validitas data diperkuat melalui triangulasi sumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kisah Idalupa versi Sanggar Seni Alue Glong Naga berlatar peristiwa peperangan antara Raja Badar dengan Raja Namrud. Raja Badar merupakan personifikasi dari peristiwa Perang Badar antara umat Islam dengan kaum Quraisy. Raja Namrud merupakan tokoh yang terdapat dalam kitab-kitab suci agama samawi yang hidup di masa Nabi Ibrahim. Dua latar masa yang terpaut jauh, tetapi direkonstruksi ke dalam satu kisah. Oleh karena itu, pentingnya pendokumentasian dan dukungan berkelanjutan bagi sanggar seni tradisional seperti Alue Glong Naga, mengingat tantangan akses dan regenerasi serta menyoroti perlunya kebijakan budaya yang responsif terhadap kelestarian seni lokal.

Personification as a Basis for Reconstructing the Dramaturgy of Idalupa Alue Glong Naga in West Aceh

This study aims to describe the differences between the performances of the Alue Glong Naga Art Studio and other Dalupa groups by tracing the stories behind them. This qualitative research focuses on the origins of the group, the variants of the stories they present, and the reasons for the differences in the form of their performances compared to other groups. The research process was carried out from April to November 2023 through three stages: (1) pre-research, (2) field research, and (3) post-research. Data validity was strengthened through source triangulation. The results of the study show that the story of Idalupa, according to the Alue Glong Naga Art Studio, is set during the war between King Badar and King Namrud. King Badar is the personification of the Battle of Badr between Muslims and the Quraysh. King Namrud is a figure found in the holy books of the monotheistic religions who lived during the time of the Prophet Ibrahim. Two time settings that are far apart, but are reconstructed into one story. Hence, the importance of documentation and ongoing support for traditional art studios such as Alue Glong Naga, given the challenges of access and regeneration, and highlighting the need for cultural policies that are responsive to the sustainability of local arts.
