Abstract

This article aims to reveal the uniqueness of the mang-tèmang performance as a tradition of blessing ceremonies in the life of the Madurese people. The form of the performance is in the form of the activity of giving gifts in the form of money from relatives and attendees to a child during a reception celebration event. The ceremony takes place on a stage that look lively and accompanied by Madurese songs or repertoire. The way of giving the money is shown one piece at a time and is done as many times as the givers want. Some do it by squandering their money while dancing, and some string the money together to form a long necklace and then give it to a blessed child. The performance of mang-tèmang as a social event is always displayed in every celebration of Madurese community receptions in Madura Island. The performance of mang-tèmang as a tradition of a traditional blessing ceremony for a child does not only serve as a festive function, but can construct messages for the various interests of the community, and have an existence in its continuity.
