Sigale-gale is a statue made of wood. It is a kind of statue as a handicraft of Batak people from North Tapanuli in Sumatera. This Sigale-gale doll, driven by ropes that connected to the various parts of the doll that controlled by the player. Sigale-gale can perform TORTOR (dancing) like the real dancer, according to the skill of the person who plays it. Sigale-gale is also dressed up with traditional clothes (ulos).
I don't know exactly when Batak people had a Sigale-gale show and what they did it for. Maybe, it was only a creation to amuse people when they held an opera or when the Batak people held a ritual tradition in the past.
Some said that, Sigale-gale was made same to the person who was the most respected in a noble or rich family.
Why did it happened? maybe if the family held a ritual tradition, the Sigale-gale would dance as a form of the man/ woman that they respected mostly.
