INTERPRETATION OF RAMAYANA STORY IN A CYBORG COSTUME

The Ramayana epic, an Indian work of literature, was reproduced in the Javanese language and even adapted to the Javanese cultural background. Its Javanese version stops at the part where Sita is brought back to Ayodhya and Rama is crowned as King. The moral values in the story are still relevant to today’s modern life, especially the younger generation; therefore, the meaning of Ramayana story in the cyborg costume becomes significant. The result of the transformation of the form of the costume in the Ramayana story into a cyborg costume as well as the essence inside is expected to be able to become a critical reflection on the importance of moral values in society, especially in modern society. The creation method used is exploration, design, and embodiment. Keywords: Interpretation of Ramayana stories, Ramayana Stories, cyborg costume
