Abstract

The way of performing production varies according to the cultural background to be produced and the changes of the times. Among them, the method of collaborative creation has been newly introduced and attracted attention in Western theater in the 1960s, and is now being discussed as an alternative theater. The characteristics of collaborative production produced by the researchers through the previous researches related to Ariane Mnouchkine, which is famous as a collaborative creation artist in France, are summarized as follows. They emphasize ‘diversity’ in the process of creation, second, to work in ‘a process-oriented attitude’, and third, to reveal ‘the presence of participating artists''. As noted, the collaborative creation work was not originated in the domestic theater industry, but should be regarded as a domestic acceptance that senses the change of Western theater production mode as a result of exploring new ways of creating Western theater since the 1960s. Therefore, it is believed that the typical characteristics of these collaborative creations, which can be identified through Mnouchkine, can fully discuss how they are being implemented in the production of the local work 《I and Sailor Moon''s Subway Travel》 even though no traces or associations of direct interaction can be found. And the reasons why this work is more suitable for collaborative creation than for other collaborative creation productions are as follows. First, because it was created by a group of performers from three countries (Korea, Japan and Hong Kong), it was highlighted by ''diversity'' and secondly, it was actively composed and performed by ‘reflecting the workshop process’, and thirdly, the characteristics of creating ‘a co-existing environment for audiences and actors’ are relatively clear. As a result, 《I and Sailor Moon''s Subway Travel》 is thought to reflect the typical characteristics of collaborative creation in Western theater with great clarity. In particular, it was judged that they could represent the contemporary collaborative creation characteristics of the same time period among collaborative creation production in Korea, given that they were more advanced than before. We hope this study could contribute to diagnosing and predicting the current state of the collaborative creation system in Korea.
