Mozaik Civilization Malay - International Nobility, past window

Almah life of a pirate or pirate sea unkind. In Sebatik Island, the pirate silent. Together with children fruit hijack ships through, rape women, villages, the traders to create a water beetle. Lingga Sultan is worried with the follow-on pirate and unkind.

One time, Sebatik Island pirate love to a daughter and tried noblemen conquer the daughter. The daughter of the family alone. In fact, the patrician father and daughter which is to remove the pirate Sebatik Island, and says the pirate mother died.

When the dispute between the aristocratic family with the pirate, a commander who appears and then put-off with a pirate. Pirate killed by the unkind hands commander. At the same time also the mother who was still alive and appears mourn her sons.

The story played Sri Mahkota Lingga from Daik, Lingga one of the traditional theater groups "aristocratic", in The International Cultures Festival in Tanjung Pinang, 10-16 September 2006, in the Riau Islands.

Building on the stage she Sulaiman, has fit the screen with four layers of palaces stage settings in the garap serious. Not just one type of setting.

Once the turnover innings, purple screen down and then open again with a view different stage decorations from the atmosphere of the palace, to coastal forests. The players dressed in typical Malay colorful manage.

Not only settings, is the story by theater groups are believed to correct or appointed from the real story.

"Sebatik Island, now knows why still haunted. People afraid to visit there, "said the director Rusdy Throne before staging.

Performance "patrician" from Daik is like trying to turn the atmosphere in the past, not only from the visual, but also stories. "To get the story we find people who understand about the first period. Usually the stories about the government. Parents who are still there that tells us Go, "said Rusdy.

Slang and language used also as the past. To be fit, the players were given costumes of the era is drawing Malay kingdom and of course the objects that no modern epoch is underway. Players, for example, are not allowed to wear shoes to watches.

With all the equipment, "aristocratic" must be played in a closed place and require a large fee. The lighting and sound to be adequate. "Once appear need at least Rp 5 million. Number of players and its crew reached 40 people, "said group leader Sri Mahkota Lingga, Khamarul period.

Reality actors

Reality of the perpetrators of "aristocratic" stage far from reality. If at the stage they become sultan, queen, commander, commander, and a rich family, the original is not the case. Most or almost 80 percent members of Sri Mahkota Lingga is a civil servant and they have the spare time that clear.

Livelihood can not hope to the many arts "aristocratic". For them, art is only continuing the tradition and not for profit. "One bale is also sometimes can not be from the staging," said one of his players, Solomon (40), who is also a primary school teacher. The director, Rusdy Throne, act as the principal base in Daik, Lingga.

Wages are not out to the operational director, transportation, and the small remainder was distributed to dozens of members.

Fate of the arts is also not much different from other traditional arts in the archipelago, which entered the twilight. Show the cost and the lack of future generations to make the arts "aristocratic" difficult to develop.

Groups of "aristocratic", which is impossible, for example, a new active five years after the revitalization held by the government and non-profit organizations. "Maybe we have been scattered. Now and start practice about three times a year, "said Throne Rusdy the dozen years since the age of play is" patrician ".

Travel "aristocratic"

Indeed, from the "aristocratic" is the night life is also reflected in the Malay Sultanate. In the kingdom of Riau-Lingga, Daik, Lingga had become the capital of the kingdom after the fall of Sultan of Johor.

Aswandi Syahri Foundation Khazanah, which write the book Mak Yong Traditional Theater District to reveal the Riau Islands, "aristocratic" is one form of performance art that imported in the area such as Lingga Daik Singkep and find the pattern.

Traditional theater is reputedly comes from the art style puppet show Parsi. Initially developed in Penang and spread to various regions Island Riau.

A group of noblemen or puppet puppet Parsi from Pulau Pinang in Riau to the Palace Penyengat invitation of the Sultan Abdul Rahman Muazamsyah (1889-1911). Then the type of theater that spread to several areas in the Riau Islands and shapes.

Sutamat Arybowo, researchers the Indonesian Institute of Sciences will prevail on the "aristocratic" since 1990 until now holds similar. "Nobility" is a performance that has been commercial since played in public places such as markets and audiences pay the ticket.

He suspect theaters in the area until the year Lingga 1870s. "Time is the price of copra rose and the economy is very good, so traders need entertainment. Art becomes developed, "he said.

In Daik, Lingga, the aristocratic life is not separated from the palace. "It was played at the theater near the palace to provide education about the customs kingdom is the power of legitimacy," said Sutamat.

However, there is also a nobleman who experienced a transition from the sacred to profan. "It was for ritual purposes such as the anniversary of the kingdom and the religious. After that, move into entertainment, "he said.

Consequently, there is a special Daik, Lingga, as commander Daik, a crow, chicken, Daeng Marewah take time setting the story in the Kingdom of the kingdom of Riau-Lingga stand.

"Nobility" of course not just entertainment, fun, but can also become a window to understand Malay. "As a researcher, my own, performing arts, with a metaphorical entrance to see the past," he said.
