A Study on the Change of Masks for Goseong Ogwangdae Play - Before and after the designation of intangible cultural assets-

고성오광대 연희용 탈의 변화 양상

Goseong Ogwangdae started academic research in the late 1950s and was designated as a national intangible cultural asset in 1964. From the time of the academic survey to the time of designation, it was recorded as using paper masks, but when the recording image was filmed in 1965, it was already changed to wooden masks. In 1960, before being designated as an intangible cultural asset, the number of masks, which was 9 points, gradually increased to 19 points in 1964. It is necessarily included in the leper, Chorani, Malttuki, Cheongbo-Yangyang, Halmi, and Jemilju, but the character of the yangban is not yet clearly differentiated. Hwangbongsa and Sangju appeared as bare faces, and consumption, milling, Cheongbo-Yangyang are used together with Bibi and inspiration. It can be guessed that Bibi was not the appearance of a foreign object with horns as it is now, considering that Bibi and Madangsoi were used together. Since 1965, shortly after the designation, the whole of the Goseong Ogwangdae mask has been changed to a wooden mask. All the characters except for resident, courtyard, and top-of-the-line are wearing masks. Bibi, Hongbaek, and service masks have never appeared until 1964. The Yangban was changed to the closing ceremony with six people in the order of Won-Yangban, Baekje, Heukje, Cheongje, Hongbaek, and Jonggadoryong. Starting in 1969, the mask enters the stable period where the kind is the same as the present. Bibi-Yangban uses both the Won-Yangban and the Jemilju uses the Somu, but all other characters use the individual mask to use a total of 18 masks. The Yangbans are clearly differentiated, and a total of seven Yangban appear. The reason why the change in the type of mask and the expression of material is so large is that the first generation of mask makers died and the tradition of mask production was cut off, but there is also a cause of the extreme change in the environment of the drama that the performers who joined after the designation had to face. Also, it is closely related to the change of the times when the meaning and weight of masking in masking has changed. At that time, the performers were not so tied to the current concept of 'original form' that they preserved the appearance of the designated time. Originally, Goseong Ogwangdae was centered on improvisation dance, not the formalized dance as it is now, and there was a certain fluid aspect in the retelling, so it was flexible in the use of masks even before the designation of cultural assets. Strict rules did not apply in the details, as it was a self-sufficient play by the performers, not an offer event. The form and contents of this fluid play are changed to preparation for the performance while preparing for the folk art contest. As the subject of the contest in self-sufficient play, dance, costumes, and props became more and more colorful as well as dancing, costumes, and props. As a result, participation in the contest brought about changes in the overall performance and changed the mask, which was accepted within the preservation society.

고성오광대는 1950년대 말부터 학술조사가 시작되어 1964년 국가무형문화재로 지정되었다. 지정 당시까지는 종이탈을 사용하였으나 1965년에는 이미 나무탈로 바뀌었으며 이후 탈의 변화 양상이 매우 크다. 1960년에는 9개의 탈을 사용하였는데 문둥이, 초란이, 말뚝이, 청보양반, 젓양반, 할미, 제밀주 탈을 기본으로 하였으며 여기에 소무는 제밀주와, 청보양반과 비비양반은 영감과 탈을 겸용하기도 하였다. 황봉사와 상주는 탈을 쓰지 않고 맨얼굴로 등장했다. 1965년부터 고성오광대 연희용 탈은 전체가 나무탈로 바뀌었다. 상주, 마당쇠, 상두꾼을 제외한 전 배역이 탈을 쓰고 있는데 비비, 홍백양반, 봉사 탈은 1964년까지는 등장한 적이 없는 탈이다. 초라니는 종가도령으로 바뀌었고 청보양반은 원양반으로 대체되었다. 1969년을 기점으로 연희용 탈은 종류가 현재와 같아지는 안정기에 들어선다. 비비양반과 소무를 제외한 모든 등장인물들이 개별탈을 사용하여 총18점의 탈을 사용한다. 양반들은 적제양반까지 확실하게 분화되어 총 7명의 양반이 등장한다. 이렇게 탈의 종류와 재질 및 표현법에 변화가 큰 것은 1세대 탈 제작자가 사망하면서 탈 제작의 전승이 끊어진 이유도 있겠으나 지정 이후 연희자들이 맞닥뜨려야 했던 연희환경의 극심한 변화에도 그 원인이 있다. 연희자들의 자족적인 놀이였기 때문에 세부 사항에서는 엄격한 규칙이 적용되지 않는 유동적인 놀이였으나 민속예술경연대회에 참가하면서 점차 공연을 위한 준비로 바뀌었다. 춤이나 의상, 소품들도 점차 화려해졌고 시각적인 효과와 짜임새 있는 연출을 시도하면서 연희 전반의 변화와 함께 탈의 변화를 가져왔고 이를 보존회 내부에서도 수용하게 되었다.
