Natural Element, Mantra, Igal, Eco-CriticismAbstract
This paper explores the natural elements in the igal ritual theatre mantras of the Bajau ethnic group from Semporna, Sabah. The study focuses on the aspects of nature in the mantra by applying William Howarth's (1999) eco-criticism theory through its principles, namely ecology, ethics, language, and criticism. Ethnographic methods are used in this study to obtain data and achieve the study objectives. The elements of nature in the mantra reflect that humans have an indirect relationship with the natural environment because they contribute to the well-being of human life.
