- Abstract
The background of the study was to give the academic sense of Thathakan performance in Tambakboyo district, Tuban Regency. The purpose of this study is to describe: 2) denotative meaning; b) connotative meaning, c) Ideology myths) the masks of Thathakan art performance in Tuban. The theory used in this study is etnosemioticsvisual, the combination between ethnography and semiotic visual. The semantics theory which was chosen was Roland Barthes’ theory. The approach was descriptive–qualitative. The data collection used observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions with the artists and stakeholders. The data analysis was operated on two levels, those are 1) analyzing signs individually which include marks, codes, and marks’ meaning; 2) the sign analysis which formed texts. The findings of the study are to understand that the masks used in Thak-thakan performances in Tuban are part of the mythologies for Javanese in the coastal area to cast out the evil spirits around them.
