Dramaturgy and philosophy in anti-realist theatre

Anti-realist theatre was born in the last quarter of the XIXth century as a counteraction to the conception of the realist theatre with the internal contradiction of modernism itself and it had significant effects on today's theatrical way of thinking, from writing to direction, from stage design to the use of light. In particular of epistemology and axiology, this study , aims to clarify the impact of the symbolism, aestheticism and new romanticism, which emerged from the anti-realist theatre on text writing, direction, stage design and lighting within the framework of the period between the last quarter of the XIXth century and the first quarter of the XXth century. Under all this perspective, the links/parallels of the anti-realist theatre which exhibits an oppositional stance contrary to the realist conception of the age, with the philosophers, who are also prominent with their oppositional stance, have been evaluated on the axis of dramaturgy.
