Modern Industrial Literary Theatre

Masa: This story is based on the phrase “photography is a literature” and also showing my inspiration from theater of the absurd. Theatre of the absurd refers to the methods of drama and theater that attempt to depict the absurdity and barrenness of human beings, especially modern people, or theatrical activities themselves based on such methods. In the theater of the absurd, the characters’ actions and their consequences, sometimes even their very existence, are either separated from the law of cause and effect, or treated as ambiguous. The situation surrounding the characters is stuck from the beginning, and there is a sense of blockage.
