The primary social and cultural concern of The Avignon Quintet has to do with the quest for significance, for illumination which is simultaneously and necessarily physical, aesthetic and spiritual, in a world that is given over to darkness. The modern world, here centered on World War II, is seen as broken, inverted, far gone in madness.
