Abstract

This paper examines the influence of the French Theatre of the Absurd on the Iraqi theater. The Iraqi playwright Taha Salem with his play "Tantal" have been chosen as a model. To reach this goal, three main points have been tackled: the first is devoted to briefly presenting the creation of the French Theatre of the Absurd, the second aims at uncovering the reasons for receiving this new theatrical form by some Iraqi playwrights, the third point focuses on analyzing the theatrical text of the Iraqi writer Taha Salem. Moreover, this analysis is based on studying three axes: the form, the linguistic structure, and the privacy of the characters of the play.
