초록
본 연구는 안데르센의 동화『인어공주』와 존 노이마이어의 발레 작품 『인어공주』를 비교 분석하여, 동일한 서사가 예술 장르와 시대적 맥락에 따라 어떻게 다르게 재구성되는지를 고찰하였다. 서사 구조, 인물 해석, 주제 의식, 무대 연출의 측면에서 두 작품의 차이를 분석함으로써, 동화 서사의 현대적 해석 가능성과 창작 발레의 예술적 확장성을 논의하였다. 이를 통해 발레가 감정과 철학을 담아내는 서사적예술임을 입증하였다.
Abstract
This study compares Hans Christian Andersen’s The Little Mermaid with John Neumeier’s ballet adaptation to examine how the same narrative is re- imagined through different artistic media. The analysis focuses on four key as- pects: narrative structure, character interpretation, thematic transformation, and stage expression. Andersen’s tale presents a linear storyline emphasizing self-sacrifice and spiritual redemption, while Neumeier’s ballet offers a frag- mented, emotionally charged narrative that introduces the Poet as a symbolic reflection of the artist’s inner world. This reinterpretation shifts the focus from moral lessons to themes of artistic solitude, emotional struggle, and existential reflection. Through choreography, music, costume, and lighting, the ballet ex- ternalizes the characters’ psychological states and transforms the original fairy-tale atmosphere into a symbolic and modern tragedy. The findings high- light how classical stories can acquire new artistic and emotional depth when adapted through contemporary ballet, bridging historical context with modern sensibilities. This research contributes to the understanding of narrative adap- tation in dance and demonstrates the potential of ballet as a medium for re- interpretation beyond traditional storytelling.
