Abstract

This creative thesis aims to illustrate how family dynamics shape individuals’ base behaviors that would further determine their personal growth and development. The story goes with three siblings as main characters, Issa, Dru, and Ade, who mock their elder relatives for fighting over inheritance on the day of the burial of their late grandmother. This one-act play uses dramatic comedy. I use Bowen Family Systems theory in portraying family dynamics in my creative work. The family dynamics are passed down to Issa, Dru, and Ade through multigenerational transmission process, differentiation of self, sibling position, and nuclear family emotional process. The family dynamics shape Issa into a parentified child, Dru into an insolent middle child, and Ade into an emotionally avoidant child. This play underscores the importance of acknowledging the patterns and dynamics within ourselves that determine our growth and development.
