Theater performed by oneself or for oneself; a performance where the actor is also the sole audience.
From Greek 'auto-' (self) + 'theater' (from 'theatron', literally 'seeing place'). A modern compound reflecting experimental theater concepts developed in the 20th century.
Performance artists in the 1960s-70s avant-garde movement created 'autotheater' as a radical rejection of conventional audience dynamics—imagine acting out a scene entirely for yourself with no one watching. It questions whether theater even exists without an audience.
