Bissu Dance


Bissu Dance

Mabbissu bissu comes from the word that gets extra prefix ma which means doing dance bissu. While bissu bessi comes from the word, which means clean or pure and strong. They called Bissu because no menstruation, no bleeding, or sacred. It said it did not bleed because Bissu immune to sharp weapons, was not able to be penetrated by a dagger, machete or hot lead. Hence, in every ritual ceremony, the Bissu always show their magic in the form of dance called Dance Mabbissu or Bissu.

Mabbisu is usually exhibited by 6 major Bissu led by chairman Bissu in that area. The Sixth Bissu dress like a woman with golden-colored clothing and badik at waist. After that, accompanied by the rhythmic drum beat is typical, they chant mantras strains To Rilangi mythic language (the ancient language of the Bugis) while dancing around the Arajangnge, the sacred objects and ancestral spirits believed to be the resting place. In front Arajangnge has prepared a variety of offerings from Bugis traditional pastries, fruits, chicken and heads of buffalo and cattle as an offering to their ancestors.

As the strains of the drum grew louder and faster, the movement is growing slowly Bissu and start "trans" or lose consciousness. At the time, began to demonstrate Bissu maggiri movement. They release long dagger tucked waist, then thrust it into the palm of the hand, stomach and throat. The goal is to test whether the ancestral spirits / supernatural deity has penetrated into them. If they are immune, meaning Bissu and spirit that possessed him was believed to give thanks. Conversely, if badik it penetrate and hurt their bodies, meaning that possessed her spirit is weak or even not at all possessed by ancestral spirits.

The culmination of this is Mabbisu nagiri'i or piercing their bodies with badik, so the dance is also called Maggiri. At maggiri movement is exhibited, visitors will be amazed, and were astonished to watch the Bissu pierced their hands and neck with badik pointy and sharp, but does not leave any scars, though pressed many times with a vengeance. However, if there is a requirement in this dance are not met, then badik will penetrate their bodies.

Most visitors who come to the site, not just to witness the spectacular performances of dance, but no one came to ask for the blessings of the Bissu.

Performances Assaurajang Mabbissu located in the village, District Segeri, District Pangkajene Islands (Pangkep), South Sulawesi province.

Travelling from the terminal towards District Segeri Power Makassar can be taken about 2-3 hours by car or public transportation peribadi. From the District to the Village Assaurajang Segeri can be reached by motor vehicle within 20 minutes.

History bissu Pangkep - According to history or the history of a guard Bissu ancient Bugis cultural heritage that still exist today, it's just a lot of people who claim that community Bissu violated local regulations (Regulation) Islamic karna assessed polytheists, worshiping gods and not married (because they are among transvestites). However, if we re-trace, can be judged that the role Bissu itself was instrumental in the development of agriculture and serves as sandro (shaman) in villages on the ground Bugis.

In the period zilam Bugis culture, bissu have accrued a very respectable and respected, as a mouthpiece for the king and the people. Bissu also an intermediary between heaven and the earth, this is possible because of its ability to master basic torilangi (sky languages) that can only be understood by the bissu and gods.

In the manuscript sureq Lagaligo told that the first bissu on earth named Lae-lae, derived with Guru. From this tradition is believed that in the beginning bissu Luwu and spread to various regions in South Sulawesi. So bissu origin in the area of ​​regional Segeri Luwu.

In the golden age of great empires and governments kekaraengan in South Sulawesi, including kekaraengan Segeri, none of the traditional ceremony is considered complete without the presence of bissu. bissu a tradition of community conservationists and keepers of royal greatness objects (Kalompoang / arajang) and religion at that time.

Future bleak for bissu community is when changes in the system of government of the kingdom into a republic, and reinforced by the inclusion of Islamic teachings in the XVII century. Religion Islam considers that the beliefs held by the community is a form of idolatry bissu. Traditional ceremonies, such as Mappalili considered a form of worship that can not be implemented.
From the aspect of not rule, Islam never tolerate to hold a jumble (mingling) between a belief with other beliefs. Islam never leave empty space to fill space than tauhid monotheism of Allah SWT.


Activities and bissu thoughts, such as indigenous Mappalili with the thought that the harvest will only be successful if done mappalili, other ceremonies bissu m emosisikan themselves as perantar prayer or mantra with people who are sick, have a votive, celebration, Gods Seuwae as pangganti mention the name of Allah are some actions that can not be tolerated in Islam.

Community Developments Bissu Segeri Pangkep District

In view of the public, especially the scholars assume that existing bissu just past the left who do not need to be preserved, especially espoused beliefs are beliefs that are contrary to Islamic monotheism. But those that are found others that Bissu with all its activities are typical Bugis Makassar culture of the past that need to be addressed with care and wisdom., Especially from the District Government for the benefit of regional tourism. If the government gives space to bissu then automatically there will be a response to members of the public space for the community to also live this bissu. prior activities, teachings and beliefs can not be taught as represented bissu indicted religion, so do not worry that bissu will spread polytheism, because the teachings, beliefs, and activities bissu only be revealed to someone who is qualified, are: hereditary factors, there is a divine call, and undergo processes to bissu.

Community bissu experiencing the devastating tempest entire institution to bissuannya mob during an operation Kahar Musakkar Toba, which bissu crackdown. Thousands of ritual paraphernalia bissu burned or drowned in the sea. Not a few bissu killed, one was left alive shaved and forced to become a genuine man. The remains of the operation is likely that bissu-old bissu present.

In the 1950's when the uprising broke DI / TII Muzakar Kahar, Bissu is one of the most miserable. Kahar Muzakkar Bissu considers the activities of this is idolatry, not in accordance with the teachings of Islam and raise feudalism. Because of his activities, ceremonial tools, as well as the perpetrators eradicated. Hundreds of ritual instruments burned or drowned in the sea. Many sanro (shaman) and Bissu either killed or forced to become the man who had to work hard.

Suffering the Sanro and Bissu existed when the Old Order (Orla) regime was overthrown by New Order (Order) in 1965. Arajang highlight commotion and the ceremony happens in Segeri mappalili. Arajang nearly devoured by one of the youth organizations of the ruling at the time. The Bissu and those who believe in the supernatural arajang be accused followers of communist or a member of the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI). They are considered irreligious, committing siriq, held the doctrine anisme considered. Anyone who still thinks arajang as objects Kramat means double the Lord. Among those arrested had to choose between dying in suicide or chose to convert to Islam and become a normal human being (male). Doctrine emerged in the community, that if you see or Wandu Bissu then reputedly the viewer will not get a damn fortune for 40 days - 40 nights. Similarly, all the good deeds he had done for 40 days will not be accepted by God Almighty reward. Therefore, if you see or Wandu Bissu he had driven away. Many of the previously Bissu sanro and highly respected by the community, is now the target of the throw and derision boy in the street.

The Islamic purification movement they called "Operation Toba" (Operation Repentance) who was keen to take place in 1966. Since then, the decline Mappalili ceremony, ceremonies Bissu no longer organized on a large scale. The Bissu hiding from death threats pursuer. People no longer care about their fate, because most of them are supporting the movement of "Operation Toba" is. Some people are sympathetic to the Bissu, just stay still without being able to do anything about it. However when the reaping paddy, but the result is not satisfactory so some people think it happens because they do not perform the ceremony Mappalili. With the realization that some of them hide Bissu left so as not to be killed, and that the ceremony be held again mappalili. Bissu-bissu survivors that are still there today. Now the number of those who left in the entire region of South Sulawesi custom of not more than forty people. And to make a great Mappalili ceremony, the amount must be at least Bissu numbered forty persons (Bissu PattappuloE) in a custom region.
Bissu can exist until today because of the social functions held by the bissu. If the first, bissu community is being pursued at the time of surgery Toba, communities and local governments now Pangkep even gave place to live and a space for community bissu. the approval of Parliament Pangkep bissu community is a place that made Ball Arajang.

Now the community is diminishing the threshold between being and not. Said to exist because the community still want and occasionally sees the need to mengedepankannya for interest related to the ceremony. Can become nothing when people initially sustain its existence then leave for various reasons.

The events that seek to eliminate their existence has been experienced by Bissu communities in South Sulawesi. They have passed the time in which they must be hunted and killed to be eliminated. At that time, a dog's life is more valuable than their lives. Bugis community as the owner of this tradition, now mostly even cornered this Bissu community. Various pressures to make them as a community of alienated, although some of them can still survive tough compromise with the change. Community Bissu divorced dispersion, quantity and quality is shrinking day by day. Seeing the pattern of regeneration and support the majority of Bugis society today, it is certain that the Bissu-bissu that is left now is the last generation heir to the tradition of this classic Bugis.
