공연을 통한 <흥보가> 다시 읽기 - <흥보마누라 이혼소송사건>을 중심으로

Abstract

In Heungboga Heungbo and Nolbo are traditionally viewed as embodiments of good and evil, respectively, while academic discourse has reevaluated their moral positions. With the expansion of a capitalist viewpoint, the public has also reassessed Nolbo's villainy. But Heungbo's appraisal still places him as a paragon of virtue. Heungbo's Wife's Divorce Lawsuit Case draws attention for reevaluating Heungbo as a husband. This study focuses on the stylistic aspects of the performance in re-reading Heungboga. The play uses the divorce lawsuit, emphasizing spousal faults and contributions at family, and features Heungboga as evidence. The audience, participating as jurors, critically revisits Heungboga and they drives the re-reading process. The play effectively practices and audience-led reexamination of Heungbo, highlighting his role as a family member, especially from his wife's perspective, and questioning if he can be deemed ‘good’ person. This reevaluation through the overlooked female voices in Heungboga and the active audience participation holds significant value.
