<한낮에 꿈꾸는 사람들>을 통해 본 극예술연구회 1935년 제8회 공연의 실상과 위상 ―작품의 개작 양상과 공연 정황을 중심으로

Abstract

The 8th regular performance of the Geugyesuryeonguhoe was the only regular performance in 1935. The Geugyesuryeonguhoe had to stop at least four regular performances in 1935, and it was barely possible to conduct the eighth regular performance until November. The 8th regular performance chose the method of performing three works in one performance, and this performance method strongly held the purpose of solving censorship and internal problems at the time. At the same time in this process, the proportion of Korean plays increased particularly, the status of Western plays fell relatively, and performances of plays that closely criticized reality were suspended. In this situation, Hannaje kkumkkuneun saramdeul(Midday dreamer) is particularly noticeable, because the Geugyesuryeonguhoe attempted to produce a script that closely adhered to reality through the adaptation. As a result, these attempts were aimed at solving the difficulties faced by the Geugyesuryeonguhoe and at the same time establishing Realism drama(a new play) and accommodating critical plays. In addition, this attempt was also a kind of sign that the Geugyesuryeonguhoe is passing the transition period of operating system change.
