Abstract

The Amal play is a form of folk theatre in Sandiwara Amal in Pulau Belimbing II Sub-Village, Kuok Village, Kuok District, Kampar Regency, Riau Province since the 1950’s. Until today, the Amal play is always performed every year on the first week of the Idul Fitri celebration. There is no concept of a fixed script in the Amal play, as it is driven by the improvisation motives of the scriptwriter. In addition, the female characters are played by male actors, a cultural negotiation in the order of society to celebrate Idul Fitri. On one hand, it does not take into account the Islamic laws by recognizing the travesty motive in the cultural play. This paper assumes that the travesty pattern is deliberately carried out as an effort of community protection toward a cultural awareness that is full of meaning as a negotiation effort. This is what must be examined and investigated as an intriguing topic in the form of research.
