Abstract
This study used qualitative descriptive method, ethnographic observation and analysis of verbal data and pictorial data. It was built based on the ritual theory, and performance. The results of the study show that the Pwahaci myth has a significantly entire ritual process, which is the source of the theme of the entire process of spiritual teaching in the Seren Taun ritual. The theory/concept of ritual and performance seeks to give an understanding of the Dewi Pwahaci myth as a dominant symbol that has a multi-vocal meaning, and a positional dimension. Dewi Pwahaci is dramatized as a sacred communication that describes the spiritual awareness of Madrais teachings. On the other hand, it also describes the rites of life stage transition of Pwahaci Dance (“birth”), "adult" (marriage) in Ngararemokeun Pare (the mating rice), and death (perfection) of Seren Taun Peak Procession, namely Ngajayak, Babarit, and Tumbuk Padi (Nutu) rites.
