고려극장의 시대적 변화와 고려인 사회에 미친 영향

Abstract

This thesis primarily investigates the changing aspects of the Koryo theater over the period, and examines how the Koryo theater affected the Koryeoin society. I researched theater officials who were mainly active and Koryeoin who enjoyed it. In 2013 and 2015, I visited the Koryo Theater in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and conducted an in-depth investigation on current and former key officials. The subjects of the primary investigation were the director of the theater at the time, key officials, former theater officials, and North Korean refugee writers. And secondly, researched Koryoin kolkhoz touring performances and perceptions of later generations on Koryo theaters, targeting seniors of Koryoin in three Central Asian countries. Therefore, I attempted a two-sided approach through the internal transfer subject of Koryo Theater and the external class of Koryoin enjoyers. For this purpose, referred to existing data and papers on the existing Koryo Theater. From 1933 to the present, all of them were divided into four periods to approach the aspects and characteristics of the changes of the times. Through this, it can be seen that Koryo Theater influenced the Koryoin society in various ways through the relationship between the Koryoin kolkhoz, North and South Korea, and the Kazakhstan government. The classical and creative works of Koryo Theater played a role in instilling national pride in the Diaspora Koryo people. And the songs and dances of the Koryo Theater spread to the Koryeoin in the form of a song through performances, and are the core of the current activities of small art troupes and choirs. In recent years, the influence of Koryo Theater has been reduced and limited compared to the past. However, Koryo Theater still has a symbolic meaning as the spiritual center of Koryeoin.
