Abstract

The purpose of this study is in order to figure out the aesthetic points of Namsadang Deotboegi, which is appointed as “Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity”. In order to realize the philosophical meanings and values we have studied the origin of the word “Deotboegi” by expanding its meanings to the beauty of word, exaggeration, creativity of the theatrics, and to the aesthetic sense of the deotboegi: the followings are the results after the research. First, the origin of the words used in Namsadang, includes connotative meanings like jargon. It implies that the public willingness and the perspective to create the social consensus and democratic characteristics of traditional mask dance. Second, the composition of exaggeration contains the recognition and critique toward the objects. It is the task that should be solved realistically, containing the wish of creating and integrating democratic energy and in terms of the connection structure of Deotboegi, the last actor of the former play remains and connects to the next exaggeration. Fourth, the implied musician plays a role as connecting each play. Third, Deotboegi has acquired and integrated the existing mask dance and actively accepted the unique performance artistic patterns. For this reason, it pursues its own unique aesthetics of Deotboegi, while other mask dances do not. Fourth, the theatrical structure of Deotboegi is expressed through the number ‘4’ and ‘12’. Through this number, the beginning and the ending connects to each other to be repeated and circulated continuously. It eliminates the conflict structure with materialized concepts of the community’s survival and peace. As well, it includes the philosophy and idea of Namsadang, which emphasizes the unity accompanied with the order and harmony.
