What are some famous examples of weird literature or theatre?
>>
>>24956180
To clarify what I mean, I'm talking 4th wall breaking, stream of consciousness, surreal settings, warped narrative structure, meta elements, and so on. For some reason I couldn't put this in the OP or 4chan thought I was spamming.

I wrote an entire Greek old comedy about Venus (the planet) trying to seduce nitrogen & oxygen (is a breathable atmosphere). It's a bit cringe at parts (some of the chorus songs etc could do with a rewrite), but I think it has a few merits.

Jorjani is probably the most schizo author on the scene right now.

>In September 2017, Jorjani was suspended from his teaching position at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in response to a covert video recorded by Patrik Hermansson, a Swedish antifascist activist, who presented himself to Jorjani under the false identity "Erik Hellberg", in which Jorjani predicted a future where concentration camps would return to Europe and Adolf Hitler, Napoleon Bonaparte, Alexander the Great would appear on European currency by 2050. Hermansson met with Jorjani at an Irish bar in midtown Manhattan in June, where the two talked about a future in which Europe embraces fascism. "It's going to end with the expulsion of the majority of migrants including citizens, who are of Muslim descent, generally" Jorjani said. "That's how it's going to end. It's going to end with concentration camps and expulsion and war. At the cost of a few hundred million people."
