This paper attempts to study the life of stage’s lifestyle which means that socio-cultural life looks like a drama performance. The life drama is more freely expressed by the Javanese litterateurs through oral tradition. The life of stage process emerges in four ways, i.e.: (1) transfiguration, (2) transposition, (3) transmission, and (4) transcendence. Those express the aneh in oral tradition. The aneh is the manifestation of four kinds of oral traditions: (a) parody, (b) paradoxical, (c) anecdote, and (d) transcendental. From those four expressions and kinds of oral tradition, the life of stage’s lifestyle affects the emergence of oral tradition, and vice versa. In the perspective of literary sociology, life and literature always change. The reciprocal influence between them is related one to another. The erotic, unfair, and seductive lifestyles are intentionally aesthetically expressed by the oral litterateurs.
