In order to shed light on the complex form of contemporary analytical experience, in the present article I shall attempt to trace in parallel the evolution of theatre towards the composite form we know today – made of action, narration and intersubjective dialogue – and that of psychoanalysis which, starting from narration, has come to discover and include dramatic, dialogic and action elements, all typical features of the theatrical form, finally achieving what is not possible in theatre: going beyond the predefined plot and creating a form of real life on the analytical scene. This might allow us to glimpse intersubjective risk as peculiar to contemporary psychoanalysis.
KEYWORDS: Chamber theatre, crazy dance, dialogue, evolutionary transference, intersubjective dialogue, intersubjective risk, peekaboo game, primary conversation, repetition transference, self-object transference.
