AbstractInterdisciplinarity is the interaction of disciplines, during which real transition takes place between disciplines, crossing the boundaries. The theoretical framework that evolves can be regarded as a theoretical web, behind which, in our case, the world of social theater can be discovered. With describing the interdisciplinarity of social theater several researchers and theories become the center of attention, who and which meet, interact and fall into oblivion at certain points. In social theater we approach the human being in a holistic way. We face a paradigm, which offers support to social groups, and individuals who are struck by the crisis of fragmentation. This holistic approach combines the individual features with being distinct from others. Performance is an opportunity not only for deep encounters with the crises of our existence, but also for breaking out of these crises. It is an intermediary method between groups and cultures, with specific methodology. In this essay we will explore the narrative approach to prison theater as a specific manifestation of social theater, behind which ontological questions and cultural phenomena lie.
