SENI KOLOPETONG TASIKMALAYA: RELASI ARAK-ARAKAN, PENCAK SILAT DAN SISINGAAN

Abstract

Kolopetong art is an art originating from the Cisayong
Tasikmalaya area. This art basically combines the arts of Penca
and Sisingaan. Kolopetong as an art that not many researchers
have written and described sparked the author to make it the
purpose of phenomenological studies. The choice is based on the
fact that phenomenology is generally known as an approach that
sees an event speaking as it is. Kolopetong, as a newly recognized
art form in Tasikmalaya, is closely related to the tradition of
processions. In the current context, processions are generally
synonymous with the independence ceremony of the Republic of
Indonesia, or other events that are massive, large, related to the
anniversary of the city. Kolopetong art as a new entity in
Tasikmalaya shows that cultural creativity derived from existing
traditional arts gives rise to new entertainment for the
community.
