1 Background to the Study
This work attempts to throw more light on costuming an absurd play using Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot as a case study and would also research on the concept of absurdism and proponents of the ideology in attempt to throw more light on its application to budding playwrights and actors of absurd drama.
As the coming of Existentialism attempted to set the prospective of living with boundaries and tribulations, it was clear from the population’s point of view that their worlds that they were to live; were of suspicious enquiries over the meaning of life and that of desolate close-up to how coexistence ought to be, and the references it provided in accordance with the individual’s capacity of receiving, reasoning and
applying carefully.
This form of layout highly recommends what Existensalists stood for when they preached to differ the meaning of life apart from what it provides in return, this very standpoint which sparkled the realm of life expectancies; dramatic flux and thus the long-awaited results which weakens one’s faith and corporate them to the desolation of an exhausting drive of life, this futuristic outcome on the people’s ineffectual mechanism in understanding the resolutions they make in a chaotic rationalism; denotes why the majority of individuality feel free to determine their universal opinion in life, and hence tackle it to the extent of solving dilemmas in a basic relevance to the presently esteemed challenges; for what yet to come is of irrational incapability in comprehending the beyond of life challenges.
The Existentialism turned to a post-modern view that radically supported the initiation of three supplementary traits which furthered the understanding to a freedom more convincing and extravagant in conceiving the personal choice, this movement was Absurdism that branched out of the modern view on life with a newly foundation that perceives life in supporting whatever the individual accounts for it.
The three titles that were to condemn humanity’s voice by strengthening their reasoning into manageable segments of Physical Suicide, Philosophical Suicide, Acceptance, merely meant to widen the area of discussing life regulations in a more modern interpretations.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Most directors do not regard costume as an essential item in a play production; especially in an absurd play. Sometimes costume performs an interpretive role which is not often addressed by practitioners in the theatre as a result of which plays, are done without due consideration of this salient fact.
1.3 Aims of the study
We aimed at the very features that Existentialism and Absurdism left behind in a sense of means to judge and examine mankind’s mechanism of thought. Our aim is to discover the head start for these Philosophical fields and maintenance of delivering such outlook on man’s attitude; their capacity of cooperating with the Post-modern man, as thus is the outcome for today’s different status of belief that came to such diversion.
