“…Conceptually, the story of the Barongan performance originates from Hikayat Panji, which is a story about the journey of Raden Panji Asmarabangun or Pujangga Anom from the Kediri Kingdom, who wanted to propose to Dewi Sekartaji from the Jenggala Kingdom . Barongan performances are in the form of group dances that mimic the mighty movements of a giant lion, accompanied by musical instruments such as kendhang, gedhuk, bonang, saron, demung, and kempul (Arisyanto et al, 2021). Karyono et al (2015) revealed that initially, the Barongan was a ritual dance related to totemism, namely the belief in four-legged animals that were considered to have protective powers.…”

Barongan Blora is a traditional folk dance in Central Java that has existed since 1830. The passage of time brings up new social conceptions that influence the implementation of Barongan performances, particularly those relating to gender. This research aims to look into the gender roles of Barongan dancers and how they interact with social and cultural components of society. Gender interpretation aims to understand the social construction of men’s and women’s roles in society. These roles include male and female dancers whose motions express diverse traits while maintaining the performance’s significant values. This study employs a qualitative research design with case studies on various Barongan groups in Blora, Indonesia. In May 2023, data was gathered through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results suggest that cat motions dominate the Barongan dance steps, which are supported by strong, energetic, and nimble characters. On the other hand, each character’s movements are tailored to the roles and the dancers who portray them. Male dancers are cast as characters who appear strong and emphasize masculine attributes, such as Barongan, Gembong Amijoyo, Joko Lodro, Untup, and Nayantaka. Meanwhile, female dancers who play male characters, such as Barongan and Jathilan, must be agile, strong, and feminine. Gender distinctions in Barongan performance can be noticed in the movements created. Still, there are no substantial disparities in physical appearance between male and female dancers because both needed a physique corresponding to the characters being played. The Barongan performance also impacts society’s social and cultural features. Regarding social qualities, Barongan embodies the populist traits of the Blora people, which are based on humanist principles. In terms of culture, Barongan Blora has evolved to keep up with changing times, yet it remains and can be appreciated by all levels of society. Due to its uniqueness, Barongan’s preservation is still carried out in line with the times while maintaining cultural values and content in physical and non-physical forms.

“…Barongan is associated with dance through the medium of a large mask in the shape of a giant tiger known as Singa Barong, as the forest's ruler is haunted and extremely ferocious (Dewi et al, 2018). The presence of Barongan Blora is due to the Blora people's belief in the spirits of mythological creatures, which they believe in having the capacity to guard and maintain safety (totemism) (Arisyanto et al, 2021). The Blora people's belief in tigers inspires the employment of the tiger mask and the movements of the Barongan dance that mimic a tiger or wild tiger.…”

The Barongan show has existed since 1825 and is particularly popular in Blora, Indonesia. This show is an adaptation of the Balinese Barongan and Reog Ponorogo to Blora culture. Because of its magical and mystical characteristics, Barongan Blora is associated with ritual practices. The traditional Barongan show began as a mystical show, but as it evolved, modern Barongan shows that are entertainment and spectacle have arisen without displacing the traditional Barongan. This paper looks at the magical and mystical rites in the Barongan Blora Show from the standpoint of function or the theatrical program. In Blora, traditional and modern Barongan show groups were interviewed and observed. As a mystical show, traditional Barongan stresses supernatural elements bound by particular regulations. It has enormous magical power and can put the pembarong into a trance. This phenomenon has a unique allure for the audience. This is different from modern Barongan shows, which are primarily for entertainment and are more adaptable in their execution. Modern Barongan shows are also more attractive to all groups since they are more enticing and are not restricted by rituals. Traditional and modern Barongan symbolize populist moral values that exist in Blora culture and are a trademark of the Blora region. Therefore the proclamation of Barongan as Blora regional art is more than just a discourse; Barongan becomes the spirit of life for the Blora people.
