Abstract

Society’s understanding of Jathilan art has not shifted from the roots of tradition. However, the fact nowadays is that Jathilan has developed rapidly with various types and styles of presentation and orientation. The diversity of the types of Jathilan created has the aim to provide attraction, so that the Millennial generation remains interested in traditional art, even though the choreography has been developed. The method used to provide an understanding of Derrida’s deconstruction theory provides more opportunities for the development of art. Second, the atmosphere of the dance work that arouses from the Jathilan Gaul form emphasized the importance of innovation in art. These two theories were used as a means of proving whether the phenomenon of the deconstruction of the creation of Jathilan art can be accepted by society today, especially the millennial generation. The result of the concept of cultural deconstruction is the creation of several forms of innovative work in the world of Jathilan art. First, Jathilan Gaul arises because of the demands of the times. Secondly, it is due to the artist’s anxiety over the stagnation of traditional art. Third, it is regarded as an effort to preserve the traditional arts of Jathilan; it is necessary to have alternative performances that are relevant to the time. Thus, the greater recognition of the Jathilan ar ts by the wider community will automatically realize the regeneration of Jathilan dancers in the future and motivate the rise of new forms of choreography that are more dynamic and varied.
