Title

Interpretation of traditional themes in Indonesian and Malaysian drama : A comparison

Description

" The widespread use of traditional themes in modern Indonesian drama during the 1980's would seem to have a counterpart in Malaysia. The interpretation of traditional themes could be the turning point in the experiments to create drama reflecting, in a temporary way, the Indonesian and Malaysian cultural identity. Drama in Indonesia in the 1980's shows radical changes in its relationship between theme, language and the chosen genre, linked by an important aspect, the chosen interpretation of the theme. The same seems to be valid in Malaysia as shown in some small-scale illustrations selected for analysis in this paper."
