This article was completed in the context of the publication of our
research on the Bali Innovative Wayang Wong. The purpose of writing
this article is to analyse the aesthetic elements of Millennial Wayang
Wong Performing Arts as a Balinese innovative Wayang Wong. In
general, the aesthetic structure of the traditional Balinese Wayang Wong
performance is performed by old and senior dancers. However, the
aesthetic of the Wayang Wong Millennial structure was staged by
involving junior dancers who were still children. This forms the
question: What is the form of the Wayang Wong Millennial performing
arts? This research was completed using qualitative methods. All data
was collected with the aid of a photo camera and interview guidelines.
Primary research was data obtained through observation and interviews
with informants. While library research is used to optimise data
acquisition. All data was analysed using aesthetic theory and symbol
theory. The results showed that Wayang Wong Millennial performing
arts are Balinese innovative Wayang Wong performing arts. The form
of the Wayang Wong Millennial performance is classified as a colossal
Balinese Wayang Wong performance art by involving children as
Wayang Wong dancers. If we look at dance property, fashion make-up,
choreography, Wayang stories, lighting and show duration, it can be
seen that the Wayang Wong Millennial performance has its own
aesthetic structure.
