So far I'm unable to grasp the concept of theatre of the absurd, I don't really like the way the concepts are so mixed up and unable to understand simple because of the nature of the scripts. In The Bold Soprano by Eugene Ionesco it starts off by making sense but the when we're introduces to the Martin family and their conversation regarding not knowing each other but having so much in common, but then not being married but traveling by the same train and cart and having the bedrooms arranged the same, practically described living together, but in reality they aren't married because each of their Alice's has different eyes of different colors. The story just gets so confusing when we have the maid Mary claim to be Sherlock homes and have the door ring and it not be the firefighter although he had being waiting outside. At the end they just have a over blow by just saying random phrases and not creating a conversation, it's a very different type of theatre that I still fail to appreciate.
We did a exercise where we write one line after the other, and it made me believe that is how theatre of the absurd Is created because we had different perspectives of "love hate relationship" forcing us to create a script that has barely any plot.
The other performance we have viewed is "Come and Go" where they're 3 characters Flo, Vi and Ru that have a friendship that has them all gossip about one another to the other, but in the end they all hold hands, they have a friendship that I'm still unable to understand.
Our piece using this style of theatre makes some sense although it still jumps points, the use of common phrases, stereotypes and clichés made a very absurd piece, we're still developing how we are going to stage it.
