| Abstract | ||
| In the wake of World War II, the Theatre of the Absurd, as a social and psychological conduct, outlined a setback for humanity, due to losing its balance which signalled the deficiency of intellectual reasoning. The drama of the Absurd was a departure from the Aristotelian constants in dramatic structure of the theatrical text, as playwrights of The Theatre of the Absurd tended to rotate the dramatic structure of the text so that to let it move in a non-fortitudinous whirlpool. Hence, traditional endings disappeared and dramatic events kept spinning around itself. This led to the creation of a theatrical space based on differentiation or abstraction and condensation. Thus, the introduction of multiple philosophical concepts to the spaces of theatrical performance changed the movement of theatrical phenomenon through multiple interpretive Phenomenological readings in order to achieve aesthetical recognition, and to engage in a more spacious space in the study and analysis of text and performance as an Apocalyptic philosophy, along with the participation of the recipients and the events they had sought. Hence, Phenomenological approach constituted a methodology and direction for things which assigned them a meaning and established their indications within direct experience. Existentialism philosophy had a clear and concrete dominance on Phenomenology and the futility philosophies which it formed their essence. Therefore, Theatre of the Absurd and the Phenomenology philosophy adopted the visual side in clear visibility to offer the recipient the greatest part in the explanation and interpretation. As a need had arisen for a study which specialises in the structure of the critical discourse of the Theatre of the Absurd in light of the Phenomenological approach, within a specific objective aiming at detecting Phenomenological characteristics in the Futile Critical Discourse Structure. It was also essential to analyse an applied sample based on the Phenomenological approach in the analysis of information. | ||
