Transformation of the Homban Magase Ritual as a Respect to the Water Goddess in the Batak Toba Community Into the Boru Saneang Sea Dragon Performing Art

The performance art work Boru Saninag Naga Laut is inspired by the Magase Homban ritual. The Magase Homban ritual is a ritual carried out as a tribute to the goddess of water. The goddess of water or what is called Boru Saninag Naga Laut, is believed to be the guardian of the water in Lake Toba. Lake Toba is the greatest gift for the Batak people, and is very beneficial in their lives, so this infinite gift can foster a sense of gratitude, thereby providing awareness for the Toba Batak people to pay respects to Boru Saneang Naga Laut or the Goddess of water who lives in Lake Toba. The work of Boru Saneang Naga Laut involves 7 dancers, 5 musicians, 1 artistic director, 1 lighting director and 1 documentation person, one visual director. The achievement of this research is to produce a performing arts product as appreciation material for students and the public, so that they know and understand the various forms of culture possessed by the Indonesian nation. This work was created in a new form that was touched by incorporating modern elements in a contemporary context (Art Contemporary), without eliminating traditional values. This work will be displayed at national and/or international level.
