Postmodern theater

Postmodern theater is a style that emerged in the late 20th century, characterized by its rejection of traditional narratives and structures. It often blends genres, plays with audience expectations, and questions the nature of reality and representation. Rather than following a linear storyline, postmodern plays might include fragmented plots, interactive elements, or self-referential humor. Themes often explore identity, culture, and the influence of media. This approach encourages viewers to think critically about the performance and the world around them, emphasizing that meaning is subjective and can vary from one audience member to another.
