1930년대 중국의 연극 대중화 양상 연구(2) ― 극장 없는 곳에서 연극하기: 좌익연극인연맹

Abstract

This study is part of a series of papers to comprehensively look at the practice of popularization of plays in China in the 1930s. The process until the formation of the Communitas targeted by The League of Chinese Left-Wing Dramatists was examined. Shanghai has a mix of Kuomintang-ruled areas and Jogye-ji, and has a spatiality as a cultural center city and revolutionary center of revolution. The League of Chinese Left-Wing Dramatists was established under the influence of the amateur theater movement and the revolutionary literary movement, resisting the censorship and control of the Kuomintang. Shanghai's theater-free environment is revealed by censorship, closure, arrest, and murder. In order to overcome this, the League of Chinese Left-Wing Dramatists organized a labor theater company, a student theater company, and a peasant theater company using the strategy of infiltration, inclusion, and union, and carried out theater activities with guerrilla-style performances and camouflage infiltration. Among the theater popularization groups, the practice of popularization of plays by The League of Chinese Left-Wing Dramatists was developed in the most urgent aspect, and the process of forming a communitas with workers, students, and citizens could be seen.
