Influences on Theatre & the Arts Print E-mail


After the World War II the whole world was shattered and inhabitants all over the world baldy needed something that would relieve their mind of all the massive destruction and bloodshed. People in Peoria were so desperate to drift from the harsh reality that some sect of people nicknamed as Absurdists gave birth to a different genre of theater known as the Theater of the Absurd. This term was brought into existence by Martin Esslin to name the new kind of plays sprouting in Europe and America. The goal of such plays was to deviate peoples mind, although the storyline had some preposterous elements embedded in it. Some of the common Absurdists were Eugne Lonesco, Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet and Harold Pinter. Later on this kind of thinking lead to the development of Philosophy of existentialism according to which more emphasis is paid to individual existence and total freedom in Peoria Illinois. But this philosophy has much wider spectrum and cannot be described in few words.
