Answer
The answer is "Absurd". Absurdism is a philosophical movement that asserts the inherent meaninglessness and irrationality of existence. Ionesco's theater is considered absurd due to its portrayal of the world as chaotic and illogical, its characters' tendency to engage in repetitive and meaningless actions, and its use of symbolism and metaphor to create a sense of uncertainty and ambiguity.
