SUMPANG BITA - Pangkep Culture Exploration

A. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF SUMPANG BITA

Sumpang Bita Prehistoric Park is located at Sumpang Bita Village, Balocci District, Pangkep regency, South Sulawesi Province. In this area, there are two prehistoric caves which are Sumpang Bita cave and Bulu Sumi cave.

Sumpang Bita and Bulu Sumi cave are natural cave formed since ancient time. For the first time, Sumpang Bita cave found on 1931 by Frist and Paul Sarassin from Swiss. But, some say that Sumpang Bita cave found by a local named Lantara Dg Paduni on 1974.

Sumpang means door and Bita is a name of village that is located behind the cave. So, Sumpang Bita was the gate to the Bita’s village.

After Lantara Dg Paduni found this cave, Preservation for Archaelogy Heritage Office of Makassar in collusion with Department of History and Archaelogy of Literature Faculty of Hasanuddin University held an excavation as Sumpang Bita cave and Bulu Sumi cave. Based on excavation result, and also in the framework of preservation of those caves as cultural heritage that needs to be protected and conserved, then an act of structuring both in the caves and its surroundings is accomplished, such as installing iron-wire fence around, stairs-path making, garden making, information house making and guard post making.

The preservation is carried out upon central government sponsored funding and also from local government of Pangkep such as land allowance for 22 ha.

Sumpang Bita cave is the largest cave at Pangkep Regency even at South Sulawesi. The cave is facing to the east. It’s oral cavity has 10 meters high, 14 meters wide and 50 meters depth. The inner area is divided into to large rooms and bounded by a middle wall. Room 1 located at the north, containing of rock art painting of jumping big deer facing some negative hand stencil paintings. While at the south room there are rock art painting of Sampan (small boat) below the two deer-hog painting which the heads are in downward position. There are a lot of negative hand stencil paintings in this room. Those are using red paint. There are two negative hand stencils, with forearms and the others are not.

The jumping big deer and some hand stencil painting

The total of negative hand stencils:

§ There are 15 negative hand stencils from the right hand of adults.

§ There is 1 negative foot stencils from the left foot of adult.

Based the information of some experts that the color of red symbolizes of braveness, hopes and life. Furthermore, the meaning of negative hand and foot stencil paintings and Sampan painting are a hope for salvation, free from dangerous in life. However, some say that food stencil painting means a prayer for someone who traveled far away to get a salvation. While deer-hog painting is a symbol to get animal easily. Then Sampan painting means a pray to get marine safety or a transportation for spirit to the heaven.

Based on those painting evidences at Sumpang Bita cave, concluded that the cave is a place for ceremony and not a place to get and produce food.

Mabbisu Dance - Pangkep Culture Exploration

Mabissu is a custom show which has a dance and any extreme
attractions.Mabissu dance comes from Segeri, pangkajene kepulauan or usually called
Pangkep,south Sulawesi.So,for everybody who is looking for an art show,Mabissu
could be a good choice to be chosen.

Ma’bissu dance is always held in Pangkep regency every harvest season
is coming,it is approximate on February to March.This dance is done by six
dancer,named “Bissu”.Actually,the word “Bissu” is taken from the word “bessi”
which means clean,pure,and strong.Indeed,when this dance is shown,all these
Bissu do some unusual attractions,means that in dancing this dance there is a
great strength is showed by them.Whereas,the word “Mabissu” means doing
Bissu dance.

Before Mabbissu, the Bissu dancer do a ritual because they afraid to God and Goddes . After that, the Bissu dance are going to apply Mabbissu. Before doing some extreme attractions,the first thing that is done by these
Bissu is dancing followed with the music.Uniquely,when they are dancing ,they
dressed up like a woman.They wear golden costume and a dagger that is infixed
on their waist each.Dagger is one of traditional weapons is in Indonesia,formed
sharp and pointed.All these Bissu is going to dance followed with the drum
music,it is a special music solely for Bissu dance.Moreover,when these Bissu are
dancing ,there is an incantation in torilangi language is said by them.Torilangi is
an old language from Bugis.These Bissu dance by surrounding a holy thing.This
holy thing is sure of them as a place for their forefather. This holy thing is
named “Arajangnge”.

“Ajjarengnge” was given any traditional cakes,fruits,chickens,buffalo’s and
cow’s head.After a minute,drum music is going to pitch faster.However,when
the pitch of the drum music is faster then the movement of Bissu dance become
slower,It Is a sign that all these Bissu were penetrated by the souls of the
dead,this is named as a trance stage.

The local society believe that when those Bissu is in trance,their body was
penetrated by the soul of the forefather ,so they are dancing unconsciously.The
local society also believe that there is a weak and a strong soul of the forefather,it
means when a Bissu is penetrated by a strong soul then it’s gonna be good
but on the other hand,if he is penetrated by a weak soul then the Bissu will be
unfortunate.Besides dancing unconsciously,all these Bissu is beginning to show
a great and even unbelievable attractions,named “Maggiri”.When “Maggiri” is
being shown,this is a situation where the audience just realize that why those
dancer is called “bissu” which means strong and supernatural.

“maggiri” is the top stage of Mabissu dance.This is the time where the
audience is beginning scare to see all these Bissu doing their attractions.In these
attractions,those Bissu take the dagger is on the waist and then use it to stab their
neck (throat),hands,and stomach.These Bissu do this attractions on purpose to
test the strength of the soul penetrated in their body.

If these Bissu are not injured then it means that the soul penetrated in their
body is a strong and supernatural soul.This soul is believed that it can make them
lucky.But,if the dagger makes these Bissu to be injured then the soul is weak or
there is no soul penetrated their body.Another factors which can cause these
Bissu to be injured is they don’t fulfill one of the requirement of Mabissu dance. The equipment to Mabbissu are Dagger, Alisu, Anak Bencing, Bencing, Oiye, Bendera Arajang, and Teddung Arajang.

So,the conclution is Mabissu is a very appealing dance,it’s a so different
dance and I ensure you won’t find the dance which is good and appealing like this
in the world.
