Interculturalism is an increasingly urgent topic in the 21st century. As Rustom Bharucha indicates, Interculturalism is “in the theatre is to be more than a vision, there has to be a fairer exchange between theatrical traditions in the East and the West.” Based on this theory, Intercultural theatre has started with the appearance of theatre directors such as Jerzy Grotowski, Peter Brook, Eugenio Barba, Ariane Mnouchkine, and Richard Schechner since the late 1960s. Director, Yang Jung-ung, who pursues intercultural theatre has attempted to create new performances where he added unique Korean traditional elements and characteristics to the conventional performances of Shakespearean plays that have been regarded as the model of the Western classical dramas. In this process, Yang has turned Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream into a performance of a Koreanized fairy-tale. Accordingly, he succeeded in featuring a unique Korean version of Shakespearean plays to the Western audience. Even though Yang’s performances have been sometimes criticized for ruining Shakespeare’s original texts and intentions, he deserves credit for contributing to the creation of a new culture by expanding the realms of Shakespearean authenticity from a new perspective. This paper will examine the main features of Yang Jung-ung’s direction of his new adaptation of A Midsummer night’s dream and analyze the performance in terms of Interculturalism. More specifically, the characteristics and possibilities of Yang’s Shakespearean performance are explored.
