비천무의 무대장치 활용 전개 양상과 영향 연구

초록

This study analyzes the impact of stage devices used in Bicheonmu, a creative dance work, on its story development process. The study examines Dunhuang murals and flying figures, and analyzes the props-first used in Ailian’s 1954 Bicheonmu performance, as well as the stage installations repeatedly represented in various Bicheonmu performances until recently. This paper is based on the analysis of literature and images related to Bicheonmu, in addition to the performance videos and photos archived from 1951 to 2021. Since 1954, the stage installations of Bicheonmu have been constantly improved for a more realistic performance, and thus the story of the dance has also undergone changes. Various stage devices used in Bicheonmu, such as flying cars, steel wires, electronic screens, flying devices, and underwater, create a spectacular scene. The paper, which focuses on the different kinds of stage equipment and props used in Bicheonmu, will contribute to offering a reasonable development plan for the transmission and innovation of the dance.
