Credo quia absurdum est

Summary/Abstract: Although apparently devoid of reason, the theatre of the absurd exorcises the moral and intellectual anxieties of an entire post-war generation of playwrights. To be or not to be, has always been the question. But what is the purpose of being, when we keep failing over and over again, when we have lost faith, and logical discourse, and the sense of our transcendence? – this is the question posed by the authors of the absurd. The resented lack of reliable meaning in the human existence is the tormenting source of this question. The theatre of the absurd is, thus, an honest attempt to accept the unacceptable.
