“…Meanwhile elsewhere, in the mid-1950s until now, participants in the Makassar art theater have generally seen themselves as part of the national theater community. This is marked by the quality of the drama they create and stage, which they see as one of their contributions to presenting superior aspects of the nation's culture (Bodden, 2013).…”

This paper approaches the spectrum of theater studies in Indonesia in an interdisciplinary manner, encompassing both descriptive and normative perspectives. From a descriptive standpoint, the spectrum is shaped by various ways of attributing meaning to theater as an entity. In a normative approach, various disciplines offer perspectives that contribute to creating a spectrum of meaning for theater in relation to the life of Indonesian society. Through a literature review, the research identifies at least three approaches to constructing theater studies in Indonesia: synchronic, diachronic and, combined. These three approaches are drawn from disciplines outside of theater, such as historical, anthropological, and sociological studies. Based on this perspectives, theater studies in Indonesia has moved from viewing theater in its meaning as a form of sacred ritual in the past to theater as symbolic capital today. These interdisciplinary perspective has an influence on the meaning of theater in theater studies itself as a discipline. Theater in Indonesia as a subject of study, therefore, is not only understood as an art that originates from dramatic works, but is more broadly understood as all forms of art that are centered on human action displayed in live performances, including sacred rituals, cultural performances, and theatrical protests.

“…Moreover, in a regional/local respect, Michael Bodden's work on identity and theatre in South Sulawesi shows how 'regional cultural identity is part of a process of the changing relations between centre and region within a national culture, and is also intertwined with the relationship of regional cultural workers to their local audiences as well as to each other'. 99 This 'doubleness' of identity politics, that is, the desire to 'claim a particular, distinctive identity while at the same time wishing to critique and relinquish any claims to a fixed, stable notion of self', 100 fosters insight into the competing paradoxes of contemporary identity formation.…”

In 2010, La Galigo, a Bugis mythological epic describing the founding of the human world, was included in UNESCO's Memory of the World register. This accolade again brought La Galigo into the international spotlight, as had occurred when Robert Wilson's stage playI La Galigo, based on this epic, debuted in Singapore in 2004. Wilson's production received acclaim and critique, with reviews primarily focusing on his ability to achieve an authentic representation of Bugis identity and their past. These responses raise questions around the presupposition that there is an authentic Bugis identity and past that can be publicly recreated. This article analyses the concept of authenticity through reviews of Wilson's production and the work of key theorists to show that for many people, authenticity is achievable and of critical importance in underpinning any sense of a unified and singular ethnic identity, while for others, identity is always already a mix of different global influences and as such is either irrelevant, or liberated from a sense of a singular heritage.

“…Apart from that, the language used is the regional language of Makassar which is contained in it. It also needs to continue to be used so that it does not become extinct along with the development of electronic media which needs to use approaches and methods in preserving it (Bodden, 2013). The approach that needs to be used is the art approach.…”
