A Study on the Dramatic Structure ofMasan Ogwangdae

Masan Ogwangdae had not been handed down at the local field. For that reason it can not be designated as the intangible heritage. But it can be studied because of the playbook recorded by Choisangsu.Masna Ogwangdae is composed of seven scenes. The scene of Obang Sinjang(The divine generals of the five direction) is the play of centralizing. The scene of Jung(Monk) is the play of transgressing the border. The scene of Mundungi(Leper) is the play appeasing a deep grudge. The scene of Yangban-Malttugi(Nobleman and his servant) is the play of overthrowing the rank. The scene of Yeongno(Monster) is the play of passing through the crisis. The scene of Halmi-Yeonggam(Old woman and her husband) is the play of the reverse of one’s dream. The scene of Saja(Lion) is the play of gaining supremacy over the enemy.The order of scenes is constructed systematically and structurally. That is arranged from dance to drama, from imitation to struggle, and from simplicity to complexity. It is expected that the principle of composition can be generalized by studying the order of scenes of all mask-dance dramas.
