다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper is focused on analysing the scenes of <Incendies>, a play written by Wajdi Mouawad(1968), from the perspective of cruelty theatre of Antonin Artaud( 1896~1948). In this paper, the three scenes of < Incendies >; “Nawal gives evidence.”, “A letter to son.” and “A letter to twins” were analysed and described, from the perspective of violence of cruelty theatre, poem and healing. This study aims to verify that analysing this work from the perspective of Artaud’s cruelty theatre is effective and accords with the intention of the writer, who said that < Incendies > is to comfort the vicious human life cruelly, not exposing the tragedy of Oedipus complex or the Lebanon War. In the introduction, the play’s plot, the characteristics of the work and the existing studies on < Incendies > were examined and Artaud’s perspective was applied to the play scenes, which suit the study purpose and method in order to specify what this paper wants to say about. The explanation of Artaud’s cruelty theatre is to correct the wrong understanding of Artaud’s cruelty theatre and show the essential meaning and real intentions of cruelty theatre. Moreover, violence, poem and healing properties of cruelty theatre, which provide a visual frame for analysis of plays, were described. The study on the scenes is to analyse and understand each scene, based on the standard of cruelty theatre selected in this study, after setting a subtitle of each of the three scenes from the perspective of cruelty theatre and in conclusion, based on all these discussions, the effects and results of < Incendies > analysis were gathered and the meaning was described. This paper has significance by analyzing < Incendies > from the perspective of Artaud’s cruelty theatre, based on the writer’s direct argument without an ideological and fragmentary understanding. During the study, it was revealed that Artaud’s idea and theatrical perspective could be applied to every section of < Incendies > and for this reason, a more philosophical and deeper message than the meaning of the work and an artistic echo of impression were delivered effectively.
