  Article:   PSYCHODRAMA AND THE UTOPIAN PLAYING.

  Abstract:  The research assumes that utopia finds an ingenuous form of manifestation in Psychodrama. Thus, having roots in the meeting place of sacred and imaginary events, utopia tends to undermine the authenticity of the reality in which we live. Likewise, utopia is the space where the psychodramatic play, passing beyond the limits of everyday reality, acquires the simulacrum vitality. The protagonist (and along with him, auxiliaries) are looking for an ideal space, hidden or affected for a while by a “wreck” or an “error” of Being, all “over the earth” or in the “water”. Therefore, often in the role play, we think we are witnessing a journey, real and imaginary at the same time, presented by the protagonist’s dream or reverie. This shorting of the reality from the psychodramatic play can be classified as utopia manifestation for the unachievable desires. Through the protagonist’s role play, utopia gives an actual answer to society, to the imaginary, to the visible, to the logic and the suffocating day-to-day rationality.
