ABSTRACT

Between 1939 and 1940, Cheongchunjwa (Theater Group) of Dongyanggeukjang underwent a process of crisis and recovery. During the period from 1940 to 1941, Hohwaseon (‘Seonggun’, Theater Group) experienced a decline in terms of popularity and difficulties in restructuring the system at the same time. The two theater groups suffered a crisis, but soon successfully recovered. Because the two theater groups performed programs alternately, Dongyanggeukjang was able to continue to produce repertory theater works. These countermeasures were the driving force of supporting the activities of Dongyanggeukjang in the 1940s. In fact, during the Japanese colonial period, many theaters hoped to make an exclusive contract with theater groups and to achieve the development and self-production of repertoires. However, exclusive contracts often caused risks. Despite such risks, the way of exchanging performances by the two theater groups helped sustain Dongyanggeukjang and led to success in the theatrical performance of Joseon in the 1940s.
