A New Musical about the borderline between love & Despair
1. KARPMAN'S FAMILY DRAMA
Created by Stephen Karpman, the drama triangle is a social model of human interaction which maps a type of destructive interaction that can occur between people in conflict. Karpman used triangles to map conflicted or drama-intense relationship transactions. The Karpman Drama Triangle models the connection between personal responsibility and power in conflicts, and the destructive and shifting roles people play. He defined three roles in the conflict; Persecutor, Rescuer (the one up positions) and Victim (one down position). These three roles are referred to as the three faces of drama. Karpman, who had interests in acting and was a member of the Screen Actors Guild, chose the term "drama triangle" rather than the term "conflict triangle" as the Victim in his model is not intended to represent an actual victim, but rather someone feeling or acting like a victim.
