| dc.description.abstract | Pekik Lara Pincala is a reinterpretation of the previous work of the author,
Piso Surit Dalam Distorsi, which is also a reinterpretation of the traditional Karo
song by Djaga Depari entitled Piso Surit. Piso Surit is not the name of a type of
knife typical of the Karo tribe, but is a term for a type of bird in the Karo Land of
North Sumatra, a bird that sings like it is calling and looks very sad. The sound is
loud and repeated as if to say the word "piso serit". This type of bird in Indonesian
is called Kacer, while in the language of the Karo tribe this bird is called Pincala.
The song Piso surit illustrates the sadness of a girl who is shackled with longing
and sadness that is very powerful in waiting. Waiting for her lover who went to
fight for the battlefield and had not returned for a long time, in fighting for the
independence of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia during the
Belanda Colonialism. The reinterpretation of the song Piso Surit that the Creator
worked on became a work of art entitled Piso Surit Dalam Distorsi, then
reinterpreted by the Creator into a new form of art in the form of theatricalization
or musical drama. By implementing several theoretical approaches, namely;
Sunnatullah, Reinterpretation, Reconstruction, Semiology, Music Composition,
Dance Choreography, Theater and Musical Drama, the Creator gave birth to new
works of art. Where the Creator explores five songs by Djaga Depari entitled,
Erkata Bedil, Erkata Pet-pet, Sora Mido, Padang Sambo and Piso Surit, as well as
a song by Sergeant Major Hasyim Ngalimun entitled Oh Turang, which is then
constructed and reflected into a story Musical Drama or Theatricalization, and
gave it the title Pekik Lara Pincala, which can literally be interpreted as a cry of
sadness or the cry of a Pincala bird | en_US |
