  Article:   THE PSYCHOLOGICAL MECHANISM OF TRAUMA AND ITS EFFECTS ON SARAH KANE’S EXPERIENTIAL THEATER.

  Abstract:  This study presents a Psychological approach of Sarah Kane’s theatre, whose esthetic intention is, as suggested by the author, to express the truth about the human condition by means of trauma-related mechanisms. This paper, then, argues that while Sarah Kane’s traumatic theatre is an expression of her emotional inner Self through which the artist communicates her personal view of the human condition, the esthetic truth that comes to life in her plays, does not limitate or alters the Other’ s perception and point of view, but, nonetheless, it amplifies it and creates the vital space for the Other’s truth to be felt, heard, seen, and experienced totally and viscerally.
