  • Abstract: The theatre of the absurd appeared in the twentieth century following the Second World War, which might lead us to think that humankind had reached the limits of humanism. The classical framework of theatre was overturned, as was language itself. What can unstructured language result in if not non-­communication and non-sense? How does Tawfīq al-Ḥakīm justify his recourse to this theatrical genre? How does he translate it in (“The Tree ­Climber”)? Is the world any less absurd today
