Abstract

Sartre is a great philosopher and creative artist who has skillfully put the ideas of existentialism thoughts in writing in the works of art, especially the plays. The current study aimed to investigate and critique Sartre’s efforts in extending the philosophical thoughts of existentialism, such as the “distancing,” “look,” “choice,” etc., to the style of performance, directing, writing, and acting, and even the stage and the spectator. In this regard, first, the esthetic thoughts of Sartre in art and especially the theatre are addressed, which have been expressed about the subjects such as “theatre of the situation,” mental analysis, time, place, etc., which are founded based on the existentialist thoughts. Second, we would investigate and critique these theories and answer the question, do these theories apply to all arts and all styles of art and schools, especially theater, or not? Or, in other words, how much these theories and the extension in the mind of Sartre are approved by the experts of the field and the esthetic theoreticians?The current study is descriptive-comparative-analytical research using over 30 years of experiments and directing, writing, researching, and teaching experiences of the author.
