What is "experimental theater"?
Experimental theater is a type of theater that explores new and innovative methods of performance and storytelling. It often challenges traditional theatrical norms by using unconventional techniques, unusual staging, or non-traditional narrative structures. Experimental theater may include elements like abstract visuals, interactive audience experiences, or non-linear plots. The aim is to push the boundaries of what theater can be, offering fresh and original experiences that can provoke thought and inspire new ways of understanding and experiencing performance.
