absurdity and existentialism in theater
Absurdity in theater refers to the use of irrational and illogical elements, as well as the presentation of situations that defy traditional logic and meaning. It often challenges conventional ideas and questions the purpose and meaning of life. Existentialism in theater explores the human condition and emphasizes individual freedom, responsibility, and the search for meaning in an otherwise absurd world.
