the literal translation given in the first line is 'people's theater', but the second line says that 마당 'madang' literally means a yard and gives the literal translation of 'yard theater.' There's no sense in which madang means 'people', so the second translation is more likely closer to correct, but madang in that sense could also refer to an open space or public square, such as in a traditional market. It also occurs to me that 'madang' is also the term for a 'scene' or 'act' in traditional theater, so it's plausible the word might literally mean something more like 'scene play'. I wish someone with some insight would clear this up. In any case, the first two lines should be edited. The Korean History Thesaurus (Korean History Thesaurus < National Institute of Korean History) also gives the following translations of the term: situational play, outdoor theater, village-square play.
