극단 백수광부의 초기 체호프 연작 연구 - <굿모닝?체홉>, <놀랬지?체홉>을 중심으로 = A Study on the Chekhov Series of Theater Company Baeksookwangbu - Focusing on “Good morning? Chekhov”, “Surprised? Chekhov”

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study examines the meaning of the Chekhov series of theater company Baeksoogwangbu in the Chekhov performance history of Korean theater, focusing on Good Morning? Chekhov and Surprised? Chekhov. The period when these works were performed was when Korean theater began to call Chekhov as a true ‘contemporary writer’, not just a classic. The study of the Chekhov series by the theater company Baeksoogwangbu is also a work to examine these changes in Korean theater.
Anton Chekhov's works have long been mythologized in the Korean theater, closely related to realist plays. Baeksoogwangbu’s Chekhov series was an opportunity to escape from this obsession and a signal of change. Reproducing Chekhov's language or narrative on the stage does not convey the essence of Chekhov's play, that the secret of Chekhov's play is not in psychological realism, and the theater company Baeksoogwangbu's Chekhov series proved for the first time in the Korean theater. This series opened the new era of Chekhov parody and Chekhov interpretation.
In addition, this series was also an important starting point for the establishment of the theater world by director Lee Sung-yeol and theater company Baeksoogwangbu. These works are also meaningful in the Korean theater history of Chekhov acceptance, but they also played an important role in the construction of the theater world of theater company Baeksoogwangbu and director Lee Sung-yeol.
