Abstract

Legends and myths are found in various places in the world in each nation, as well as in Indonesia, rich in legends and myths. This is very interesting because rarely do people research further about legends or myths, often only considered bedtime stories or just imaginary fairy tales. But when examined in depth, there is a lot of information about a lot of hidden knowledge. It is packaged so interestingly in a story and delivered in a spoken manner from generation to generation. If one moment is forgotten, it will certainly result in breaking the chain of knowledge inherited from the ancestors to their descendants. Using a cultural studies approach and reading symbols resulting from the input of actors who still maintain customs, then reinterpreted to achieve more understanding to understand the message. So, this message is used as a source of ideas for making tamarin batik storytelling, aiming that literacy in this speech culture can also be enjoyed and understood because it is visualized.
