Summary/Abstract: The theatre of the absurd renews perspective on the human condition proving its absurdity through concrete, complex, stagy signs and images which substitute the word asserted by the dramatic tradition. Therefore, the theatre is provided by this new perspective implying the novel-poetry of the stage, the materialized intuition of the status of being and the mystery of human existence. It is a poem of the situation, movement, image, and it is not an articulated language. Wanting to escape the tyranny of logos which consists of repetitive, inherited clichés, the representatives of the theatre of the absurd (Samuel Beckett, Eugène Ionesco, Arthur Adamov, Jean Genet, Boris Vian) choose the idea of a representation addressing first of all to senses and emotions. The show surprises, disturbs and impairs the spectator’s safety and passivity. Deciphering visual metaphors, he becomes a sensitive creator of his own theatrical vision to which he takes part.
