Abstract

This study explains the spiritual aspect of igal ritual theatre. It justifies the relationship between the concept of Cultural Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the role of the igal ritual theatre in the well-being of society and the preservation of heritage. This research applies the ethnographic method through an 'inductive phenomenological character' approach. The result explains how the igal ritual theatre relates to the concept of Cultural SDGs presented by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). This study affirms that igal ritual theatre aligns with the agenda of the Cultural SDGs to improve society and preserve heritage.
