The play of Cupak Gerantang is an oral tradition in Bali and Lombok, but this story has integrated and adapted to the people of Bali and Lombok. In subsequent developments, the oral story of the Cupak Gerantang was used in plays in the art of wayang kulit performances in Bali and traditional drama plays in Lombok. These two stories have values that can be understood and accepted by society, such as: educational values, morality values, and ethical values. The figure of Cupak Gerantang in Bali is used as a personification of two brothers who have different faces, if the Cupak character has a bad face, the evil nature is greedy and slander. If the Gerantang character has a handsome face, is well mannered and thoughtful, diligently likes to help respect his parents.
