Which 20th-century literary movement focuses on alienation, the meaninglessness of existence, and freedom through an existentialist perspective?

The Absurd

The Theatre of the Absurd expresses alienation and the search for meaning in a godless world. Authors like Samuel Beckett and Eugène Ionesco depict situations where language and communication often fail to convey the essence of human experience. This form of art highlights the absurdity of the human condition, inviting viewers to reflect on their own existence. Despite its often dark approach, the Absurd finds beauty in human resilience in the face of the incomprehensible.
