Abstract

Tari Topeng or mask dance is a long-standing art heritage in Indonesia, because it functions and serves as an essential element in the life of the community where it belongs, specifically for the society in Cirebon, West Java, in performing traditional rituals and one of those mask dances is Topeng Panji of Cirebon dance. This dance depicts a pure human being born with no sins. Therefore, this dance is usually performed in traditional ceremonies such as Ngunjung Buyut (visiting the graves of the deceased ancestors) and Mapag Sri (the harvest ceremony). As time goes by, the Topeng Panji mask dance has evolved into a dance for entertainment for the Cirebon community. The increase and decrease of the frequency of the performances for this dance have been influenced by the development of society as information technology also develops.
