ABSTRACT
Phantasies embody instinctual, emotional, and archetypal experiences—that is, the impulse, fears, drives, that predominate in our unconscious world. For while psychoanalysis was thought of as only a ‘talking cure’, and while the expression in and through words was believed to be the only way to reach the unconscious, then inevitably all acting and all enacting would have been considered as an ‘acting out’. The principal purpose is the externalization and embodiment of some of the unconscious protagonists inside the psyche, the drama is expressed through a relatively free flow of affects and improvisations. Drama is one of the best, the most direct means of self and of other communication. Between the evolution of the drama inside us and the enactment, the staging of a drama outside us, lies the whole field of the operation of creativity. Externalizing the inner drama and rendering it into a form that is visible both to oneself and to others.
