What is "postmodern theater"?
Postmodern theater is a style of performance that emerged in the late 20th century, characterized by a departure from traditional theatrical conventions. It often features fragmented narratives, self-referential elements, and a mix of different styles and genres. Postmodern theater may play with audience expectations, deconstruct traditional storytelling, and incorporate multimedia elements like video or digital projections. The goal of postmodern theater is to challenge conventional ideas about theater, encouraging viewers to think critically about the nature of performance and the boundaries between reality and art.
