아시아계 미국 디아스포라 연극에 나타난 ‘아시아성’, 문화상호주의적으로 읽기 = Intercultural Reading of ‘Asianness’ in Asian American Theatre

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study aims at analyzing the ‘Asianness’ of the Asian American theatre as intercultural performances. Around the millennium Asian American theatres, Mu Performing Art and Ma-Yi Theatre Company, have showed the performances in which Asian indigenous cultures and arts mix with western theatre form or contemporary American culture. While the existing Asian American Theatres hace excluded ‘Asianness’ and emphasized ‘Americanness’ on their stages in order to suggest Asian American’s civil right, Mu and Ma-Yi pay attention to Asian Diasporic cultures which current Asian immigrants from South Asian countries and Pacific islands etc. share. Mu and Ma-Yi, however, are suspected to perform Asian indigenous dances and songs only to turn out to be self-exoticism. This study asserts ‘Diasporic Asianness’, that both theaters reify on their stages, shows the possibility of new intercultural performances.
They connect Asian cultures and western cultures, not only crossing or paralleling them on the stage but also creating new theater codes. Theatre Mu and Ma-Yi have a possibility to be a solution for the knotty controversy around intercultural theater discourses. In other words, two theatres show new intercultural stages where East and West cultures meet, fairly succeeding in escaping from Aasian stereotypes and from the ethnocentrism as well.
