REALITAS SOSIAL DALAM VIDEO PERTUNJUKAN “UBRUG” BERJUDUL “HALIWU”

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to find out and to describe social reality in the video of “ubrug”
performance with the story of "Haliwu" performed by Ubrug Sentra Agata in the agenda of
Longser Festival in West Java and Banten in 2019. The content analysis based on Berger and
Luckmann’s social construction theory was conducted putting forward 3 (three) forms of
reality, namely objective, symbolic, and subjective. Through the study, objective and symbolic
realities of performance are interpreted into subjective reality. Techniques of collecting data
include video observation, interviews, and literature reviews. Data collected is subsequently
grouped according to the discussion to be analysed. The result of the analysis demonstrates
that social reality in the story of “Haliwu” reveals the structure of high, middle, and lower
class society. These three classes of society are involved in constructing social issues related
to financier society, hoax, politeness principles in society, and the world of love among
teenagers. Symbolic reality presented is merely replicating objective reality and so it gives
insufficient space for subjective interpretation.
