Abstract

Ndikkar is a performing art originating from the Karo people and has a history that spans hundreds of years. At first, Ndikkar acted as the ancient intuition of society in dealing with nature. In the social revolution that occurred in East Sumatra, Ndikkar played a role as a tool for the Karo youth struggle against colonialism and is currently changing its function to be an opening dish in traditional events, cultural parties to welcoming regional heads. Ndikkar is performed with dance and accompanied by music. Data was collected through observation and interviews with Ndikkar activists and studio owners in Lingga district as well as literature and documentation studies. Data analysis was carried out using qualitative analysis techniques using performing arts theory from Milton Singer, challenge and response theory from Arnold J. Toynbee and ethnochoreology theory. This study describes the existence of Ndikkar today and the aspects that Ndikkar fulfills as a performing art.
