Fantasia and its representations in contemporary Iraqi theatre

Abstract

Abstract:

Fantasia is a fictitious and imaginary term according to the linguistic and idiomatic definitions that we will address in the body of the research. Fantasia has historical, civilizational and cultural roots, where myths, epics, folk stories and fairy tales were full of unbridled imagination and delusions, so they played a major role in the personal unconscious and the collective unconscious.

In theatrical discourse, fantasy is a literary and artistic imaginary genre that transcends all that is reasonable and logical, as in myths, epics, and fairy tales prepared by the writer of the text and the director of the theatrical performance, transcending real times and places. Thus, fantasy here gives the artist space to express what is inside him freely and at the same time be free from restrictions. Custom and heavy controls.

Hence, the current research focused on the study of fantasy and its representations in the contemporary Iraqi theatre. The research included four chapters. The first chapter included the research problem based on the following question: What is fantasy and its representations in the contemporary Iraqi theater?
