Topeng Betawi

Topeng Betawi is a theatre genre performed in the outlying areas around Jakarta,like in northern West Java,Indonesia.This transitional segment features comedy performed by a female singer-dancer and a male traditional clown.I argue that the stylistic conventions of this segment effect a modulation from movement to word.(And then back to movement again)

Lenong

Lenong is a famous traditional Betawi folk theater.To a Certain extent,this Betawi Theater follows European theaters,complete with its decorations and other properties as influence of stambul comedy,a western comedy performed in Makay,which was popular in the early 20th century.Nowadays,there are two types of lenong,Lenong Denes depicts episodes an king and nobilities,while Lenong preman depicts on daily social life.
