Absurd Theatre, also known as Theatre of the Absurd, is a genre of theatre that emerged in the mid-20th century, characterized by its exploration of human existence as illogical, meaningless, and devoid of purpose. It reflects a deep existential crisis, rooted in a disillusionment with traditional notions of meaning, structure, and order in both life and drama. Absurd Theatre often depicts characters who struggle with their inability to find meaning in their lives, leading to a sense of hopelessness and absurdity. The plays of this genre tend to focus on the irrationality of human behavior, emphasizing the absurdity of existence and the futility of communication.
