초록

The purpose of this thesis is to introduce a performance art genre called “theo-drama,” which may contribute to the realm of study in theatrical theology. This proposal is based upon an actual experimentation with drama productions at Asia United Theological University (a.k.a. ACTS). Since 2014, ACTS has hosted a series of theo-drama stage productions (chiefly, movement art-oriented) - which were choreographed and directed by this author - as listed below: “Imago” (2014) biblical overview of salvation history from Genesis to Revelation “Prophetica” (2015) preaching drama portraying the biblical prophetic type lineage “Communio” (2016) theological meaning of communion based on John Calvin’s view “Resurrectio” (2017) essence of the cross/resurrection as depicted by the body of Christ Here, the term “theo-drama,” short for “theological drama,” refers to a way of expression on stage through diverse artistic means, such as dance, mime, acting, design, and media, among others, to depict the biblical theological concepts in a more visual and experiential way. Thus, “theo-drama” may be understood as a sort of theologizing on stage, or simply “theology on stage.” Although the term, “theo-drama,” is used by some theologians (Hans Urs von Balthasar and Kevin J. Vanhoozer, among others) as a way of interpreting the Scripture in terms of dramatic or theatrical paradigm, I am using the term primarily as a practical way of depicting the biblical theological themes and their significances on stage. In other words, while based on these biblical-theological interpretations of “theo-drama,” I extend the implications to the actual productions and performances of such interpretations through creative theatrical means on stage.In this thesis, the concept of theo-drama is essentially scripted and analyzed through the lens of one particular case study of theatrical production called “Resurrectio.” The thesis will be in two parts. First, the theo-drama “Resurrectio” is explained in detail from various aspects of its planning, choreography, production, and performance. Second, the implications in terms of means and principles are drawn from this and other experiences of theo-drama productions, as follows: (1) creative staging; (2) movement art; (3) theological drama; (4) theological education; and (5) cross-cultural mission.
