Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan metode komparatif. Sumber data meliputi naskah drama Demang Lehman dan dokumentasi pementasan teater. Analisis dilakukan dengan membandingkan unsur teks drama dan unsur pementasan berdasarkan teori alih wahana Pamusuk Eneste. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya penambahan berupa introduksi pementasan, tokoh tentara Belanda, penambahan dialog, serta improvisasi aktor untuk memperkuat situasi dramatik dan karakter. Penciutan dilakukan melalui penghilangan beberapa tokoh dan adegan, penyederhanaan alur, serta pengurangan dialog demi efektivitas pertunjukan.

Abstract.

This study aims to describe the process of dramatization as a form of adaptation of the drama script Demang Lehman by Adjim Arijadi into a theatrical performance staged by KS3B of South Kalimantan by examining the forms of additions and reductions that occur. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a comparative method. The data sources consist of the Demang Lehman drama script and documentation of the theatrical performance. Data analysis is conducted by comparing textual elements of the script with performative elements of the stage production based on Pamusuk Eneste’s adaptation theory. The findings reveal additions in the form of a performance introduction, the inclusion of Dutch soldier characters, additional dialogues, and actor improvisations to strengthen dramatic situations and characterization. Reductions are carried out through the elimination of certain characters and scenes, plot simplification, and dialogue reduction to enhance performance effectiveness. These findings indicate that dramatization is a creative interpretative process that adapts textual ideas to the characteristics of theatrical media without eliminating the essence of the story.
