The aim of this essay is to clarify the characteristics of the little theatre movement of Daegu in 1980s with the object of little theatre, Boondo and Nuri. The little theatre Bundo was established in the July of 1980 and closed in the July of 1981. The Bundo aimed at their performance of experimental avant-garde theatre such as Offending the Audience which was performed by the 76 theatrical company of Seoul invited by Bundo. It was shown that the little theatre, Bundo was the center of avant-garde arts by holding the Festival of Modern Arts, Hanpan 80 in the September of 1981. But Bundo had much difficulty in preparing the works of performance since it could not establish the theatrical company which performed the avant-garde plays specially for it. So Bundo managed to operate the theatre by lending it and it came to be closed finally. The little theatre Nuri was established in the May of 1982 and closed in the July of 1983. It aimed at performing the popular works of small scale and so as its opening performance, they selected Love Play, the work with strong popularity which was adapted from Muray Shisgal`s The Tiger. It had Wongaksa, as the theatrical company which belonged to Nuri, but Wongaksa didn`t execute the role as the theatrical company which belonged to it well, since it couldn`t produce works continuously. So Nuri didn`t perform Wongaksa`s works and after the January of 1983, it managed to operate the theatre by lending it without the performance of theatrical company which belonged to it because of its financial difficulty till it was closed. The little theatre Bundo and Nuri had the opposite aims in operating their theatre; while Bundo tried to play a central role in the experimental avant-garde theatre, Nuri tried to become the place in which the audience could watch the plays comfortably. We can get two lessons from their operation. In other words we can learn that it is difficult to operate the theatre stably by means of only the income of the little theatre and that without the theatrical company belonging to it, the little theatre can`t but have the difficulty in making the features on its own. Thanks to the little theatre, Bundo and Nuri, the little theatre movement of Daegu came to get in its stride. Nevertheless its tendency to be subordinate to the theatre in Seoul became much stronger. This was because Bundo and Nuri could have little thought of the direction of the little theatre movement of Daegu. Bundo didn`t aim at producing continuously the experimental avant-garde works in Daegu and Nuri didn`t try to create the works being representative of Daegu trying to select the work with popularity to the public instead of taking a risk with the works which was unfamiliar to the audience.
