 | | His turbulent life and early years spent in prison are reflected in his drama, characterized by ritual, role-play, and illusion, in which his characters come to act out their bizarre and violent fantasies. |
 | | Genet's work has affinities with the theories of Antonin Artaud, with the Theatre of the Absurd (see Absurd, Theatre of), and with the existentialism of the French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, although he adapts these elements to his own unique purpose and style. |
