ABSTRACT Ikram (2026). Art criticism of the application of play elements in the Rapa'i Geleng performance from the perspective of aesthetics, tradition, and the Acehnese cultural context. [Skripsi, Syiah Kuala University]. Under the guidance of Ramdiana, S.Sn., M.Sn. and Teungku Hartati, S.Pd., M.Pd. This study aims to describe and analyze the application of play elements in the Rapa'i Geleng performance at the Putra Mahkota Studio in Southwest Aceh Regency from the perspective of aesthetics, tradition, and the Acehnese cultural context. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The research study uses Edmund Burke Feldman's art criticism approach, which includes the stages of analysis, interpretation, and evaluation. The results show that play elements in the Rapa'i Geleng performance are present through dialogue, dramatic expression, and depictions of social life, particularly in the top pade segment. The presence of play elements is viewed by artists as a form of innovation to enhance the performance's appeal and maintain Rapa'i Geleng's existence amidst changing times. Meanwhile, cultural experts, religious leaders, and some members of the community believe that some forms of excessive play presentation have the potential to diminish the religious values and traditional character that define Rapa'i Geleng. Based on the study of art critic Edmund Burke Feldman, play elements provide variation in the performance's structure, but have not yet been fully integrated harmoniously with the main elements of Rapa'i Geleng, which are based on rapa'i rhythm, synchronicity of movement, and religious poetry. Therefore, the implementation of play elements needs to be aligned with customary and Islamic values to avoid displacing the inherent religious and cultural functions of Rapa'i Geleng. Thus, the application of play elements in Rapa'i Geleng performances demonstrates a process of cultural adaptation that has created differing views within the community between efforts to innovate the performance and preserve Acehnese cultural identity.
