This study explored the portrayal of the self-integrity of the ethnic Bajau in the ritual theatre performance of igal. The study's objective is to confirm a portrayal of self-integrity between the ethnic practitioners and the audience through the ethnography method that emphasizes the link between behavior and culture. The theoretical applications of communitas and liminality are applied to analyze how both aspects display the self-integrity portrayal of the ethnic Bajau in the dramatic structure of the ritual theatre igal panangsang. The findings affirm that the ritual theatre igal panangsang serves as the self-integrity portrayal of the ethnic Bajau of Sabah.
