Absurd Theatre

Absurd Theatre is a form of drama that emerged in the mid-20th century, emphasizing the chaotic and irrational aspects of human existence. It often portrays characters in illogical situations, highlighting the futility of communication and the search for meaning in a seemingly indifferent universe. This genre challenges traditional narrative structures and often features fragmented plots, repetitive dialogue, and dark humor. Notable playwrights include Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco, whose works reflect the absurdity of life and the struggle of individuals facing existential dilemmas, ultimately questioning the conventions of society and meaning in our lives.
