Abstract

This study aims at presenting the comprehensive insight on the commodification of Tektekan Calonarang in Puri Anyar Kerambitan which uses sacred barong and rangda for tourism. The data was collected through observation, in depth-interview, and literature study. The collected data then analyzed using the descriptive qualitative method. The theories of deconstruction, social practice, aesthetic, and power/knowledge are used to undertake this study. The results of the study reveal that positive and negative influences of tourism occur in the context of traditional performing arts. The emergence of creativity is very evident in the rapid development of various types of performing arts in Bali including the increasing number of art activists, but at the same time several sacred dances including ritual procession elements, such as Tektekan Calonarang in Puri Anyar Kerambitan have become in between sacred or profane because they have been shown to tourists.
