Absurdism
A theatrical movement that emerged in the 1950s and 60s, exploring the idea that human existence lacks inherent meaning or purpose. Absurdist plays often feature circular dialogue, illogical situations, and characters trapped in repetitive or meaningless routines. Key playwrights include Samuel Beckett (Waiting for Godot), Eugène Ionesco (The Bald Soprano), and Harold Pinter.
