Finally, the observation of this performance presents strong evidence of clash of aesthetic expectations and ritual requirements from the performers and the audience. A framework or model to effectively representing the work-dependent folk genre to the public is urgently needed to prevent further attempt to stage Indung without considering the unfulfilling sentiments of the villagers and the audience. |
