This paper explores meanings of a main female character in Madame Freedom (2013), a media performance of Hyo-jin Kim and Hyung-su Kim. This research investigates characteristics of the heroine in its original novel and movie; and examines what the roles of dances and media workings are respectively and what the choreographer utilizes the original works in Madame Freedom. This paper argues that the media work shows a Korean housewife``s passion, sexuality & freedom; ambivalent interpretations; and strategic reconstruction of particularity and universality. These provide a way to produce diverse interpretations by exploring complex relations of novel, movie, and media performance.
