ABSTRACT

This article examines the concept of hybridity in the context of interdisciplinary approaches and genre-mixing practices in the humanities. It specifically considers the fusion of theater and psychoanalysis, which share common themes essentially drawn from the human psyche and condition. As a hybrid genre, theater emerges from literary texts, with choreographers adapting the narratives into performances. Consequently, theater is seen as an art form that incorporates elements of drama and other genres to create a polyphonic stage oeuvre.

KEYWORDS:

Theater, Psychoanalysis, Genres, Hybridity, Disciplinary cross-fertilization
