《뇌우》 공연의 변모 과정에 대한 연구

Abstract

I have written this paper with the intent to look into the history and the reality of the performance of《A Thunderstorm》. A Thunderstorm was presented on the stage in 1950, 1951, and 1954 after staged in 1846 for the first time. Along with the exchanges of producers every time, the performing methods became different.《A Thunderstorm》is equipped with the weak points as well as the strong points. Accordingly its success or failure used to depend on the intention of the production. In the performance of 1945, Lee, Seo-Hyang showed his intention of production which went with the public popularity. In 1950, Lyoo Chi-Jin established a new aim to make up for the weak point of《A Thunderstorm》such as a factor of a love affair, whereby he resulted in success in the public entertainment and aesthetics. Since 1954, this work had prohibited from playing on the stage, but it was produced again by Lee, Hae-Rang in 1988. However, he failed to establish his original view of performance and followed earlier remains of the existing plays. Most of all, his performance couldn't achieve either the public entertainment or aesthetic success because he was not able to assure the meaningfulness of《A Thunderstorm》in the changed reality of life.
