수행적 관객 참여를 통한 ‘이머시브 거리극’의 가능성 탐구

Abstract

This paper aims to discuss the possibility of development of contemporary street arts by connectingstreet art, that experiments with an active relationship with the audience, to immersive theatre throughErika Fischer-Lichte’s ‘performativity’. To mediate street art and immersive theatre, Lichte’s concept ofshared bodies, shared spaces as the bodily co-presence of actors and spectators is applied. It wasconceived from the idea that street art, which faces the audience without boundaries, has manysimilarities with the characteristics of immersive theatre that are revealed in a post-drama theater. Theseries of ｢Yeonhui Ghost Story｣created by Nolplus is investigated as an example of exploring thepossibility of development to the contemporary street arts. The ‘Immersive street art’ is defined asembracing audience participation through active choices and intervention at a close distance between theperformer and the audience.
