초창기 창극의 공연양상 재고찰 -협률사와 원각사의 공연활동을 중심으로-

Abstract

In this paper, I will confirm the following information by grasping the aspects of Changgeuk performances of Wongaksa and Hyupryulsa. And I would like to set the period from 1902 when Heedae was established as the first indoor theater in Kyungsung until 1909 when did not show changgeuk performances in Heedae anymore. Hyupryulsa(協律舍) used the inside theatre 'Heedae(戱臺)' and it managed singers for external Pansori performances. Especially, it made changgeuk(唱劇, the Korean classical opera) as a new style of pansori performance that singers sang separately by their roles. However, because in absence of female singers in that period, there were only male singers for traditional changgeuk performance, and the other conditions were also not prepared yet. As the works of changgeuks in that period, there were Chunhyangga, Simcheongga, Huayoungdo-taryoung (ballad). Changgeuk performances in Hyupryulsa were helpful for preparing for making the changgeuk frame. Wongaksa was a group that concentrated on Changgeuk performance from the establishment, and it organized Changbu and Gagi(the singing kisaeng) as its member including the master singer Kim Chang Hwan who lead Changgeuk performances in Hyupryulsa. From the establishment, Wongaksa performed the traditional changgeuk Chunhyangga, Simcheongga, Hwayongdo which Hyupryulsa already performed. In addition, they also performed new Changgeuk pieces such as Heungboga and Sugungga. Furthermore, not like Hyupryulsa that performed only Changgeuk of traditional Pansori, Wongaksa showed the improved aspects by performing Unsaegae(a silver world) and Chuninbong using props on the stage under the name of new theatre.
