performance?" The analysis of the two problems was carried out using an aesthetic
approach in the world of puppetry, especially through an understanding of the
concepts of Nuksma and Mungguh. In addition, the analysis of the performance
structure refers to the Banyumasan Gagrag Puppetry Path as a reference. The
research findings show that the achievement of the Nuksma value can be observed
through the puppeteer's ability to present a musical atmosphere such as gending
beregu, trenyuh, greget, sereng, gandrung, to prenes. This nuance is built through
a harmonious combination of catur (speech), sabet (movement), and karawitan
(accompanying music) elements in each scene. Based on the analysis of these
pakeliran elements, it can be concluded that the aesthetic pattern in the
Banyumasan gagrag shadow puppet performance is known as nyopak.
