Badhut Sinampurna ruwatan ceremony is one of the traditional ceremonies
that developed in Ploso Village, Tegalombo Disctrict, Pacitan Regency.
Ruwatan is a ritual in Java which aims to release from sukerta or sangkala
which means to get rid of all curses on humans. This research aims to
determine the social disharmony that occurred in Ploso Village, the form
of social drama in the Badhut Sinampurna ruwatan ceremony, and how the
social implications that happened after the Badhut Sinampurna ruwatan
ceremony was held. The theory used to study the ruwatan ceremony of
Badhut Sinampurna is Victor W. Turner?s social drama theory. This theory
consists of four phases: breach, crisis, redressive, and reintegration. The
method used for the research ?Social Drama in the Badhut Sinampurna
Ruwatan Ceremony in Ploso Village, Tegalombo District, Pacitan
Regency? is descriptive analysis method. Disharmony in Ploso Village is
caused by several factors, i.e., mental stress due to the primitive
environment, poverty, and the geographical location of Ploso Village
which is in the mountains. These disharmony factors are related to the
myth of the belief of Ploso villagers that the disaster that happened was
caused by the existence of Jajar Kala. The socio-cultural phenomenon in
Ploso Village are same to the stages of Victor W. Turner?s theory of social
drama. The ruwatan ceremony of Badhut Sinampurna also has the impact
of social change which causes social implications. The social implications
of the Badhut Sinampurna ruwatan ceremony can be seen from the aspects
of agriculture, security, and inner peace of the Ploso villagers.
