According to the Chinese man Jinsu(233-297), Buyeo, Goguryeo. Ye and Mahan in Samhan etc. performed harvest ceremonies(a memorial to the sky) and agricultural ceremonies(a memorial praying for rich harvest). It is a thing eating food, drinking, dancing and singing with gods including the sky and getting into a state of ecstasy as a group.
According to anthropologists Arnold Van Gennep and Victor Turner, the core of this performing field, where the state of ecstasy as a group is happened, is that a gap-space or the third boundary zone is formed. And also the body and the consciousness captured by the everyday lifes customalized and codelized regulation system is opened. This means that the people in the ceremony participates in the creation of the new world right at that moment, at the place they are in ‘now-here'.
This report tries to compare and examine the 3rd space festival field, ‘Madang' field, performing field started from the ancient harvest ceremony with the Deleuze’s holed space and also tries to interpret the state of ecstasy as a group at the view of life philosophy.
The meanings of the boundary zone, which is the third space, is that it summons the deep space. That soon means that everybody who is in the state of group ecstasy becomes united with the life of the sub-conscious dimension. Soon the extinction of distance of the horizontal dimension will inevitably call upon depth. The meaning of this is the unity of group enthusiasm and life.
Also, Nietzsche says, the ‘sourceful straight’, everybody uniting in the Dionysos’s intoxication, is not an idea in good order but a chaotic ‘Dionysos’. Dionysos is a heterogeneous straight, a background as a non-background, paradoxical background, a dynamically systemed straight that doesn't introduce the transcendental dimension beyond the entities. While the idea has a still system that permanently maintains the perfect self-identity, the ‘sourceful straight’ has a dynamic system where the chaotic plays of the heterogeneous differences happen. The ability of the system of these differences is life.
This basic meanings of life “The life that doesn’t belong to the organism, restricted by its own life is called the ‘body without organs’" by Deleuze.
“Modern art is not the representation of visible things but the presentation of things that are invisible to our bare eyes” says Paul Klee an artist. “Visible thing” here means a concrete object of experience at the actual level. People’s point of view about Talchoom(Korean Mask Dance) is changing. For example if you see Talchoom in the viewpoint of Modern art, the important thing is not in seeing the surface of it, but in presenting the value and meaning inside it, which are not seemingly seen. At the same time you should see it the context of time and creation. In other words, what is important on the stage of Talchoom is not the movements themselves but the power that makes the Talchoom-field(Talchoom performances) take place. At this time, the power is kind of inner power by which the livelihood and energy of Talchoom can be presented.
The reason this writer tries to pay special attention to the inner power of Talchoom is to reveal the basis and necessary conditions for Talchoom. This is an attempt to recover the lost contact with the essence of Talchoom which exists under the surface of Talchoom movements. This is also the effort to make the discourse on Talchoom richer. This research is to restore the virtuality of Talchoom, which works as the realistic condition and existential basis for Talchoom.
Talchoom is performed on Madang(open space). And the relative exterior of Madang signifies the whole places of the everyday life of the people. In this sense, we can define the absolute exterior of Madang as is a field of life that creates the yard’s virtual level. This space is not a three dimensional real life space but it is a virtual space that contains time which is four dimension and the spirit which is five dimension. Here, the Talchoom’s time is created.
Talchoom does not lock up its components to a certain point and the components, as well, keeps their abilities and contributes to the creation of the Talchoom field. In other words, the Talchoom filed is the multiplicity and the components are the machines.
