Anti-theatre (English spelling)

Japanese: アンチ・テアトル(英語表記)anti-théâtre
Anti-theatre (English spelling)
A type of theatre that breaks away from traditional dramaturgy and seeks to approach human existence using a method that can truly be called unique to theatre. It is not a unified doctrine or movement, but refers to a common tendency that spread to Europe and America, primarily France, after World War II. There is no plot or character setting in the traditional sense, nor does it raise or analyze psychological, ethical or social issues. In situations where time and place are unclear, characters who have lost their individuality and background repeatedly perform strange, meaningless actions. Through this series of unrealistic images, universal human suffering, the absurdity of human existence and the feelings of anxiety that this causes are expressed. Representative writers include E. Ionesco, S. Beckett, A. Adamov, and F. Arrabal.

Japanese:
伝統的な作劇法と絶縁し,真に演劇固有のものと呼べる手法で人間の存在に近づこうとする演劇。主義,運動としてまとまったものでなく,第2次世界大戦後,フランスを中心に欧米諸国に広がっていった共通の傾向をさす。従来の意味での筋書も人物の設定も,また心理的,倫理的,社会的な問題の提起や分析もなく,時間も場所も曖昧な状況のなかで,個性も背景も失った人物たちが異様で無意味な行動を繰返す。こうした非現実的なイメージの連なりを通じて表現されるのは,人間の普遍的な苦悩,人間存在の不条理とそれが与える不安の感情である。代表的作家は,E.イヨネスコ,S.ベケット,A.アダモフ,F.アラバルら。
