새로운 서사와 연기의 진정성에 관한 연구 —르 롸와 제롬 벨의 작업을 중심으로—

Abstract

This thesis is a research about new narrative, which appeared in the post-dramatic theater era. The post-dramatic theater, conceptualized by Hans-Thies Lehmann, focused on performativity through physical presence, rather than linguistic text’s representation, and by doing so, presented new paradigm to performing arts, but caused confusion among the audience by preventing interpretation of meaning in advance. Because of this, some theatre researchers point out dramatic effect appearing in the post-drama era, by using the expression of the so-called ‘return of narrative’ or ‘return of story’. With this perspective, the thesis sets ‘self-narrating’ which is observed in contemporary European performing art as research topic. Self narrating is a format that tells a story personally experienced by the performer in his real life, and can be called as ‘new narrative.’ Since the ‘new narrative’ is a story of reality, rather than well-constructed fiction, it does not follow the conventional law of dramaturgie. However, because performance is a story related to personal memory, the audience can realize the story as time passes, and confusion is decreased, consequently. The reason this thesis focuses on the new narrative is that such type of performance satisfies sensorial perception as postdramatic theatre and synthetic interpretation as dramatic theatre, at the same time. Therefore, this thesis will study authenticity of aesthetics through <Cédric -Andrieux> by Jérôme Bel and <Product of Other Circumstances> by Xavier Le Roy, which were recently performed in Korea.
