Abstract

This research sheds light on the concept of the tragic in the play The King is dying, and the method of its new use by UNESCO. This play is one of the most famous absurd theater plays that appeared and flourished in Europe, especially in France after the Second Scientific War. And this concept in Greek theater had a close relationship with destiny and the gods controlling the destinies of heroes. In this play, this concept has been linked to other factors such as time, speed of expiration, and excessive desires of the hero that lead him to insanity and weakness that afflicts a person when he is old and then death that leaves the person no other choice but to surrender and surrender.
