Abstract

Teater Bangsawan has a long history and is an important part of Palembang's cultural heritage. Its existence reflects the continuity of culture and traditions passed down from generation to generation and becomes a symbol of the cultural identity of the local community. This performance includes various traditional elements such as music, dance, traditional clothing, and Palembang language . The existence of Bangsawan theater also plays an important role in education and learning. This performance is not only entertainment, but also a learning medium that teaches moral values, history, and art skills to the performers and audience. Bangsawan theater became a place to study culture and develop creativity in the realm of performing arts. Palembang as a multicultural city has a strong ethnic influence in the theater of nobility. The performance combines elements of Malay, Chinese, Arab, and Indian cultures, creating a wealth of diverse arts and representing the diversity of Palembang society. The Bangsawan theater is an important forum for the people of Palembang to convey and strengthen Palembang's cultural identity. This performance reflects the values, stories, and traditions cherished by the people of Palembang, thus becoming a means to maintain and bring cultural heritage to life. The demographic development of the population has influenced the existence of the aristocratic theater. Changes in age composition, increased urbanization, and shifts in cultural values have an impact on people's interest and participation in traditional performing arts. With the onset of significant demographic changes, aristocratic theater experienced a decline in popularity due to the younger generation being more interested in modern forms of entertainment.
