린 노티지 作 『스웨트』(Sweat)의 스탠 역할 창조 연구: <액션 시어터> 즉흥 훈련을 적용한 실제 프로덕션을 중심으로

Abstract

Lynn Nottage’s 『Sweat』is a play that highlights the stress in the daily lives of American workers un- der the crises of the collapse of the labor class due to the influence of neo-liberalism. However, the stress in daily life in 『Sweat』 provides the audience with an opportunity to newly perceive every day beyond the boundaries of illusion. After the Performative Turn, dailiness life is accepted as a different concept from reproduction. As Baudrillard pointed out that the modern era is the time of Simulacre, it is necessary to understand that today’s daily life is Simulacre, a replica of a replica that does not exist, and that it is Simulacretic life. Through this analysis, this researcher interpreted the reprodu- cible property of Lynn Nottage’s 『Sweat』 as a Simulacretic daily life, and further attempted to identify and give shape to the character ‘Stan’ in the play as a Simulacretic character. In a detailed way, a theoretical study of Simulacretic daily was preceded, and the characteristics of Simulacretic daily in 『Sweat』 were derived as ‘1. Dramatic device as Hyperreal’, ‘2. Dramatic space em- phasizing Simulacretic daily life.’, ‘3. Stan’s Simulacretic character Creation.’ Based on this, the character Stan was identifed as Simulacretic character, and Stan’s Background history was established for the Embodiment. They include ‘1. Disgust for the contradictory attitudes of people with vested interests’, ‘2. Overcoming a sense of defeat with the help of three friends’, ‘3. Breaking away from prejudice against colored people.’ After that, based on the indirect experience acquired in background history, a Physical acting methodology was introduced to presence on the stage. Ruth Zaporah’s Improvisational acting training of <Action Theatre> is a physical training that reminds us of the world and how the actor’s body exists. Through this, various expressions were possible by experiencing new physical recognition based on the phenomenological body. In this study, Stan’s physical acting methodology was induced by ‘Bipolar training’, ‘Verse and Gesture Technique’, ‘Prop training’ during action theater improvisation training, As a result, ‘Physicality of a mediator dealing with external situations’, and ‘Simulacretic character derived through object re-recognition’ were proven to be effective in the actual production process. The ulti- mate goal of this study is to examine the characteristics of the Simulacretic daily life of 『Sweat』 through the actual production process and present a method of creating Simulacretic characters.
