조선조 전통공연예술의 계통과 성립과정

Categories and Process of Formation of Performing Arts in Chosun Period

Korean mask dramas can be divided into two types: sandae nori (play) type and maŭl kut (or tongje, village festival) type. When comparing the composition of acts, the names and personalities of characters, the scripts, the dramatic forms, and the types of masks, one can say that p yŏlsandae play, haesŏ mask dance, yaryu and okwangdae, namsadangpae s dŏtboegi are of a similar type and they are all descendants of a sandae nori. But hahoe pyŏlshin-kut mask play and kangnŭng kwanno mask plays are of a maŭl-kut type. Sandoe nori-type mask dramas had been passed down since the Unified Shilla period until the Chosun dynasty and revived during the late Chosun period in the vicinity of Seoul by professional players called banin(泮人). They created the sandae nori to portray the then current social conditions. Banin adapted the inherited mask dramas and plays to the new social conditions of the late Chosun period and created ponsandae nori, which is assumed to have been influenced by maŭl kut with the locally generated mask dramas. The original sandae nori which gave birth to the extant sandae nori-type mask dramas was created by the very banin who were called up play in narye as well as the perfonnance for Chinese envoys. For that reason, the personalities of characters appearing in mask dramas and the dramatic forms were directly and greatly influenced by the personalities of narye s characters and the so-called guna(驅儺) style.
