Abstract

Sand Mining in Garut Regency as Inspiration for the Creation of the Drama Script Uga Wangsit Siliwangi. This creative research aims to produce a play script titled Uga Wangsit Siliwangi, based on a critique of environmental degradation and social conflicts resulting from sand mining exploitation in Garut Regency, West Java. The script also intends to revitalize the legend of Prabu Siliwangi as a symbol of nature conservation. The creation method employs an arts-based practice approach derived from social reality. Data collection included field observations in Leles, Garut, and interviews with relevant informants. Additionally, a literature study was conducted on the Carita Parahyangan manuscript, followed by the formulation of the treatment, characterization, character-driven plot, and settings in Leuweung Sancang and Buwana Larang. The final work is a three-act play script that applies a political-satiric surrealist aesthetic. The script blends archaic (buhun) and colloquial Sundanese, featuring surreal elements—such as walls of sand—and political satire through satirical dialogue. The resulting script offers a new storytelling approach in ecological theater through a unique synthesis of political satiric surrealism, Sundanese language, and critically adapted folklore narratives.

Keywords: Ecological theater, Uga Wangsit Siliwangi, political satire, surrealism, sand mining.
