Madangkuk is a unique performance style in Korea that was born in the early 1970s based on the achievements of the mask dance revival movement for the creative succession of traditional performances that began in the 1960s. By accepting traditional folk arts, such as mask plays, pungmul (percussion instruments), traditional dance, pansori (korean unique song), and folk songs, as the main creative materials for performances, they argued for a play of life with national and popular values, and based on this, it can be said that the performing arts aesthetics were firmly established. For about 20 years after Madangkuk was born in the early 1970s, it has been used as a political and socially participatory art with the vocation of the times as a resistance art against the anti-democratic dictatorship, and as a progressive and popular art for resolving and practicing socioeconomic inequality. It can be said that he was very active. However, after going through the growth phase of the 70s and the heyday of the 80s, Madangkuk has been going through a period of stagnation or stagnation from the mid-1990s to the present. In the 1990s, with the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the advent of the era of globalization abroad, and the birth of the civilian government, Kim Young-sam, domestically, there were signs that politics would be stabilized and social inequality would be resolved, at least in part. The value had to be weakened naturally. For this reason, after the mid-1990s, the goal of the Madang Theater was weakened or resolved, and the Madang Theater lost its identity and began to drift away, and the decline of Madang Theater began. This phenomenon can be said to continue even to the present day in 2021. Therefore, by illuminating the performance history of Madangkuk over the past 50 years, we provide an opportunity to revive the heyday of Madangkuk, and explore practical methodologies such as acting, directing, and stage composition for re-establishing the stylistic of Madangkuk. We aim to escape the current stagnation by establishing itself as a representative performance style.
