Abstract

A Japanese drama 'Spirited Away: Live on Stage', which started performances in the spring of 2022, is extraordinary in that the general media transition is from stage to screen. This paper takes this work as an example and examines the phenomenon that appears when the medium is switched from film to play in a methodological way. To this end, it discusses the characteristics of the performing arts in the theatrical medium, which is distinct from the movie genre, and methodologically studies the phenomenon that appeared in the process of this work's conversion from film to play. As a result, the performing arts characteristics of the play are explained by interactivity with the audience, temporal and spatial transcendence based on it, and the tendency to use plots of conflict structures. On the contrary, the attributes arising from the film's camera editing are listed as storytelling methods that do not rely on interaction with the audience or conflict structure as well as spatio-temporal infinity. The results of this study are expected to have practical value in converging stage and film culture by reconsidering the difference between the performing media and camera editing technology.
