How much of a debt does Absurd theatre owe other theatrical traditions?
I will like to look at the elements of Music Hall, Vaudeville, Circus and Silent Film in particular.
Thank you for your help!
Do you mean Artaud's Theatre of the Absurd?
Not much, really. Artaud's idea was to shake up the Bouge...and to make them think.
About what? Their comfortable lives.
Along with Dada, TA was an adolescent prank pulled on overly serious, black-clad Film School types. We were just kidding, sheesh, they cry from the grave.
TA is given its genealogy from Music Hall, Circus, and most importantly from the British Tradition of taking things simultaneously too seriously, and not seriously enough.
All in all........it is Absurd, as is this dissertation
