Here Are Some Examples Of The Costume And Props Used In Sua Ku Sua
SUA KU SUA – In this article, we are going to take a look at some examples of the Sua Ku Sua costume and props.
Also know as “My Pomelo Tree”, the Sua-Ku-Sua is a traditional dance that copies the movements of the Sua tree. Dancers liken themselves to the Sua tree which holds attractive fruits, a fragrant smell, and a slender body.
Here are the costume and the props used for the dance:
Female Top (Barawasi): Traditional loose blouse, long sleeves with deep, plunging keyhole neckline; extra panels attached to the right and left chest decorated with many tiny brass buttons. For the materials used, a plain or silk cotton would do.
Meanwhile, for the bottom, we have the Sawal or Kanitu pants. This uses Chinese pants with a 10-inch soft white band. For the shoulder Band (Siyag), a separate wrap-around malong of rich material strung over the right shoulder crossing the chest and hanging on the left side.
Additionally, dancers also have a headpiece that could either be one of three choices: Gold or brass filigree called tusuk , Paper bills pasted on slender sticks, and pasteboard cut-outs in the front tip 8- 10 inches high.
For the males, we have the Bajo, a short waist collarless shirt that’s open in the right panel. And, the pants called “sawal or kantiu” are similar to the pants of the females yet have a darker and bolder design.
