| Abstract | ||||
| Post-dramatic theatre is a new form of contemporary theatre practice. It emerged at the end of the twentieth century by the German theatre researcher Hans-Thies Lehmann. This concept seeks to examine and evaluate recent developments in theatre that have started to move away from conventional dramatic forms, emphasizing experiences that transcend the written text and traditional acting. Simon Stephens is one of the most prominent figures in post-dramatic theatre. His theatrical works are characterized by creativity and challenge traditional dramatic forms, offering new horizons in the world of theatre. This paper attempts to analyze Stephens's play, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (2012), using the theory of post-dramatic. This analysis aims to understand how the play deconstructs the traditional dramatic structure and reshapes it in new and unconventional ways to offer a comprehensive understanding of the innovative potential of post-dramatic theatre and its influence on modern performance practices. | ||||
