Показать описание
🎭 What is Theatre of the Absurd? It’s a genre that challenges traditional storytelling, exploring the chaotic and meaningless aspects of life. In this short and engaging video, I explain:

✅ Origin of the Term: Coined by Martin Esslin in the 1960s, inspired by Absurdism and Albert Camus’ philosophy.
✅ Key Playwrights: Samuel Beckett (Waiting for Godot), Eugène Ionesco (The Bald Soprano), and Harold Pinter (The Birthday Party).
✅ Key Features:
1️⃣ Minimal plots and nonsensical dialogue.
2️⃣ Illogical, surreal situations.
3️⃣ Existential themes like isolation and futility.
4️⃣ Dark humor that’s both tragic and comedic.

This video is perfect for high school, college, and university students studying modern drama, Absurdism, and experimental theater.

Hi, I’m Monami Mukherjee, and I’ve been teaching literature since 2005. I studied at Lady Brabourne College and the University of Calcutta, and I completed my MPhil from Calcutta University. I’m super passionate about topics like Feminism, Post-colonialism, and Modernism. I believe learning is a conversation, and I strive to make every class feel like one. My goal is always to help my students not just understand literature but feel it, question it, and find their own voice in the process.
