Kropak
Harmony of the Universe, Earth, and Life in the Balinese Wayang Tradition
Kropak wayang, in the Balinese puppetry tradition, has a deeper meaning than just being a storage place. It is an element that connects various spiritual, philosophical, and aesthetic aspects of puppet performances. During the performance, the kropak serves as a sound instrument; When struck with a spear by the puppeteer, the resulting sound creates an emotional feel and brings the scene to life. The sound of kropak provides rhythm and atmosphere, reflecting emotions such as tension, sadness, or happiness so that the puppet’s story becomes more vivid and dramatic.

In the performance of Wayang Lemah, kropak has a sacred role as a symbol of the earth, where humans live. Kropak is a container for storing puppets that symbolize human nature and character, good and bad, reflecting human life in the world. As part of religious ceremonies, kropak reinforces the moral and spiritual messages conveyed through puppet stories, giving a deep meaning to the play being played. Furthermore, the presence of kropak in the performance reflects the concept of the Tri Bhuwana: Bhur Loka (human realm), Bwah Loka (middle realm), and Swah Loka (spiritual realm). Kropak becomes a bridge between the three worlds, creating harmony between humans, the universe, and the spiritual world. The resulting sound seems to harmonize the relationship between the underworld, middle, and top, emphasizing the balance and harmony in the performance. In line with the teachings of Dharma Pewayangan, kropak plays an instrument to convey moral and spiritual messages. Through the stories presented by the puppeteer, kropak emphasizes the value of good and truth, highlights the battle between good and evil, and emphasizes the importance of balance in life. As such, the kropak serves practically as a storage or producer of sound and as an important symbol that brings art, philosophy, and spirituality together. The role of kropak is so important in maintaining the balance of the performance, making the story of wayang a deep reflection on life, nature, and the relationship between humans and God.
