Summary/Abstract: In this paper we want to discover perception, imagination and fantasy beyond the surrounding world, in the dramatic text. The dramatic text is a construction that mediates between the real world and the imaginary world. It is not just a written story, but a performance project that can be seen on stage through the eyes of the director. In this transformation, three human elements play a crucial role: perception, imagination and fantasy. Perception presents us with the concrete: decor, gesture, sound, stage time. Imagination allows the reader to see the scene just by reading the text or the director to transform words into visible actions. And fantasy breaks the boundaries of logic and introduces supernatural, absurd or poetic elements. This triple dimension is present in all forms of theater, from ancient tragedy to contemporary postdramatic theater. How do they interact in the construction of a dramatic text? And how do they influence the way in which drama is perceived, understood and staged?
