Abstract

In a priority dialectics, culture often occupies an extra position when dealing with two sectors that are considered main by the layman, namely the economy and health. Therefore, it is not surprising that cultural forms are increasingly biased and their essence is not seen with precision in the midst of a pandemic. For this reason, this study aims to 1) find out the strategy for visualizing wayang performances in the midst of a pandemic and 2) the character values contained in the Sanggar Unggul Pamenang combo puppet show as well as counseling on information related to COVID-19. This study uses a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach to reveal the transformation of both the performance system and wayang stories as a form of adaptation that is studied descriptively. From the results of the field findings, the visualization of the puppet combo held by Sanggar Unggul Pamenang proved to be able to adjust the graphics of COVID-19 as well as the growing contellation of lips, either by changing the strategy of the performance or the wayang story. In addition, the wisdom contained in the wayang combo also teaches the public to always be optimistic that COVID- 19 will end soon as the community adheres to health protocols. However, this effort will not run smoothly if it is carried out unilaterally by relying on responders in every performance. For this reason, collaboration is needed, for example from the Health Service or the Police Unit to jointly revive culture while simultaneously providing information on COVID-19 in the midst of a pandemic.
