Abstract

In such an open era like today, when there are no time and space boundary, it s very easy to share any kind of information which is almost exactly the same as the ource. It is supported by the advance of technology and becomes the bridge/media to .,resent some facts for us and these facts sometimes surprise us. The surprises come so rofusely and many responses emerge because of them. There are many who are reluctant to get involved, but there also many who respond it with euphoria. This new ind of information is able to distract the tenable form that we already own and do. :-or example, traditional performing seems no longer attractive to the youngster anymore nowadays. They no longer have a desire to watch or even to maintain it. There are many new forms which draw many attentions and these new forms are .mitated and developed based on some interest and ability. The new forms are considered to be more attractive and fun to watch and do. Some performing art, which .s considered more suitable with today's era, are spreading to young people. Indeed, ihey have their own world. However , it is important to give insight about performing art as a cultural inheritance. This inheritance, with its incomparable uniqueness and beauty, is too shamed to be neglected. Similarly, all the wisdom in it, will it be decreasing until no longer recognized? This article does not merely envy and blame che power and attraction from outside, but more on the offering of some alternatives to ba lance their influence. We should give more effort to greet and get closer to the oung generation to maintain our tradition together.
