Abstract

The myth of Kramat Bedil is a local genius of the Kedotan Village community who has a surreal vision. The creation of a surreal dramatic text based on the myth of Kramat Bedil is an effort to process the cultural wealth of Kedotan Village into a drama that can meet global aesthetic needs. This research is an ethnodramaturgical research oriented towards processing cultural products. The data collection techniques used consist of interviews, observations and literature studies. The data testing technique used is the source triangulation technique. The data analysis techniques used are data reduction techniques, data presentation techniques and conclusion drawing techniques. The drama writing technique used is the writing mechanism of Lajos Agri. The results achieved from this study are surrealistic dramatic texts with a dramatic vision of "subconscious chaos". The drama writing style used is a combination of poetic and realistic styles. Conflict is formulated through subconscious chaos as a symptom of psychological degradation in a gloomy and restless atmosphere. The writing of this surreal dramatic text is an effort to utilize local genius into a dramatic text that is able to reach global aesthetics. This surreal dramatic text based on the Kramat Bedil myth is entitled "La Dalu: Dark Terror in the Circle of Anxiety".
