Abstract

The modern era has witnessed significant scientific developments. It has achieved qualitative leaps at the technological and technical levels. The era was called the Machine Age. Necessarily, these developments cast a shadow on the social reality in all its details, especially the artistic ones. Theater took that aspect and formulated it as a creative style that imitates the directors of the era, represented by the futuristic movement. This movement was deeply concerned with technology and speed and celebrated speed and machines to a degree that paralleled and even exceeded its interest in human personalities. At the same time, Futurism contributed to the production of other innovative movements at the theory and applied practice level. It is worth noting that the Surrealist movement emerged from the womb of futurism, which imitated the mechanics of theatrical preparation on the formal level of its fun. However, on the content level, it rejects those developments that futurism celebrated. From this standpoint it is a call for nostalgia. He rejected the machine age, which brought devastation and destruction. Based on the fundamental difference in goal between what futurism conceals and what Surrealism calls for, it did not deny the possibilities of futurism mechanisms to reach its goal. It can be pointed out that the receptive space was an incubator for other movements, even if they were among the movements protesting the movement's ideology, as in surrealism, so that a different concept could be established in dealing with the show, which began to allow the intersection and fusion of styles. From here, the researcher found the possibility of studying surrealist thought's branches in the futurism incubator. The researcher also took the performance of the play "Rebuke" as a model for the study. To apply to it, he came up with two indicators of artistic interference at the theoretical level, which governed the sample in the analysis at the applied level and was explained in detail in the results and conclusions of the research.
