PSYCHODRAMA, A THEATRE FOR OUR TIME
Keywords:
PSYCHODRAMAAbstract
When God created the world in six days he had stopped a day too early. He had given Man a place to live but in order to make it safe for him he also chained him to that place. On the seventh day he should have created for Man a second world, another one, free of the first world and in which he could purge himself from it, but a world which would not chain anyone because it was not real. It is here where the theatre of spontaneity continues God's creation of the world by opening for Man a new dimension of existence.
