This study uses Lev Vygotsky's feminist and sociocultural theory. Sociocultural theory emphasizes the role of social interaction in a person's psychological development. The research method used is a qualitative method with a content analysis approach from Krippendorf, namely a method used to examine symbolic phenomena with the aim of exploring and expressing the observed phenomena which are the content, meaning and essential elements of the performance. On the other hand, this research also uses an ethnographic context, this is done because it has compatibility between the subjects studied, namely art and culture or traditions in a society based on local wisdom.
