Hermeneutic Approach in Drama Learning: Study of the Case Kereta Kencana (Les Chaises)

Abstract

Hermeneutic is considered as phenomenology design and existential understanding of art is no longer contextually centred. It is more on how the interpretation of art is evolves from a simple description of texts to a more concrete work of arts. Hermeneutic can be adopted to dissect the meaning of cultural symbols. In the learning of drama, structure and textures are inseparable, thus to comprehend the underlying meaning and content of drama, comprehensive steps are required to understand the symbols of arts in drama performance. The performance was not described in details in relation to settings and stage properties. Therefore, the strength of the characters in embodying the texts, dialogue, and lightning became essential in shaping the understanding of what happened to the montage. As a source of drama learning, Kereta Kencana presented the wholeness, unity, and the nuance of the audience to the level of catharsis.
