Abstract: This article starts with a comparison between Beckett's theatre art and geometric abstract art, and delves into the configuration, mechanics and intellectual rationale of Beckett's geometric abstract theatre. This article argues that the fundamental difference between Beckett and the geometric abstract art is aligned with divergent strands of machine aesthetics within the movement of abstract art. More significantly, Beckett's unique aesthetics not only absorbs both strands of machine aesthetics, but also goes beyond them by attempting to accommodate the chaotic universe within the forms of theatre.
