Fisrtly, Absurd Theatre is seen in the Europe. There are some of examples of The Absurd theatre such as; Edward Albee The Zoo Story (1959), Agust Wilson Fences (1985), Sam Shepard True West (1981), David Mamet Oleanna (1992), and more.  The Pioneer of the Absurd theathre is Martin Esslin. He tought that what he watched was common and there must be different. For Example; Language, theme, was interesting but playwrite was common which was used. Then, Martin classified them. When drama came, the absurd theathre made change all around the World by changing standarts. At the first side, it was procavative, I mean that is not “well-made-play”. The audince was giving different expresssions by watching. The target was not to be liked by audince. The language of the Absurd theathre is not well-formed, it is not logical, answers are not logical, a directly plot and dialogue is connect with each other. There are a meaningless and babble in the language. If we talk about the characters, we should say that must be observed, convincing, also motivated, In a absurd play shows us the characters keen on to be unrecognizable, unobserved and unconvincing. Absurd is non-sense, there must be irrationalism. If we are talking about the plot, definite beginning and rise of action are seen. Absurd play shows us the arbitrary and do not tell the end to audience. There is a just aim on the audience, is making a shock and shake by making seriously condition. If we look on the philosophical movement in Europe, there is movement which is called Existentialism. It means that the desire of human mind to make rational decisions, although irrrational universe. There may be or not may be meaning but also we are going to reaching that meaning. It is also Philosophical movoment that just individual human being understands meaning. The has all responsibilities for to supplying the meaning for their life. Also, it is the expression against to traditional philosophers. For example: Nationalism. Their target is to be discover or discover something. By the way, ultimate order and structure in the World.
