Absurdist Theatre is a form of drama that emphasizes the chaotic and illogical nature of human existence. It often portrays characters in bizarre situations, highlighting the futility of their actions and the lack of meaning in life. This genre emerged in the mid-20th century, influenced by the aftermath of World War II and the existential philosophy of thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus. In Absurdist plays, traditional narrative structures and character development are often abandoned. Instead, dialogue may be nonsensical or repetitive, reflecting the confusion and disconnection of modern life. Notable works include Samuel Beckett's "Waiting for Godot," which exemplifies the themes of waiting and uncertainty central to this theatrical movement.
