Abstract

A dance costume based on its function is a set of clothing as one of the supporting aspects in a dance work, but nowadays, the phenomenon of hyperreality is happening to art workers in Bandar Lampung. This hyperreality is characterized by the use of “lavish” costumes that look extravagant and sometimes are not suitable for the actual function of dance costumes. The process of simulacra is marked by the “lavish” dance costumes worn in the creative dances, but the use is not appropriate for the primary function. The use of these costumes is more to create an image that wearing a “lavish” costume will provide a good impression and show a prestigious performance. Meanwhile, without using “lavish” costumes, it does not mean that the dance performance would not look attractive. Too much use of a costume causes an inappropriate impression because it is supposed to support a dance work. The image of “lavish” costumes worn by the art workers shows a high aesthetic value. Also, the dance costume used by the female dancers is similar to a gown, thereby limiting the dancers’ movements. In addition, the types of performance are creative and traditional dances with an artistic touch, and they are fully performed at weddings.
