Abstract

This paper examines the Dongrae Yaryu and Goseong Ogwangdae acts of mundung(lepers)-gwajang. It can be said that leper theater contains modern consciousness and is the theater form where comprehensive performing arts began. It can also be said that there are elements of anti-realism in the performance of the lepers, and there is a point of making folk plays into art. The content of sublimating the pain and trials of life into spirits also appears in the acts of the mundung(lepers)-gwajang.
 In the Talchum, the acts of the mundung(lepers)-gwajang are at the center of the deity. It is not an existence that corresponds to a minority. It is necessary to re-recognize the ontological meaning of lepers. The perception that lepers are beings who have the power to advance into a new world, rather than collapse in front of human limits and the power of fate, should be spread.
