Surrealism in Playwriting

Surrealism in playwriting is a theatrical movement that emphasizes the exploration of dreams, the subconscious, and irrationality. It seeks to break away from conventional narratives and logical structures, often presenting bizarre characters and unexpected scenarios that challenge perceptions of reality. Influenced by surrealist art and literature, these plays may juxtapose seemingly unrelated images and ideas to evoke emotions and provoke thought. The aim is to tap into deeper truths and reveal the absurdities of life, making audiences reconsider their understanding of reality, identity, and existence.
