La farsa (del latín farcire, “rellenar”) es una forma dramática en el que los personajes se desenvuelven de manera caricaturesca o en situaciones no realistas. La farsa no existe en estado puro, ni es un género propiamente dicho; es más bien un proceso de simbolización que puede sufrir cualquier género dramático, en una relación similar a la existente entre la palabra y la metáfora.

In theatre, a farce is a comedy that aims at entertaining the audience through situations that are highly exaggerated, extravagant, and thus improbable. Farces are often highly incomprehensible plot-wise (due to the many plot twists and random events that occur), but viewers are encouraged not to try to follow the plot in order to avoid becoming confused and overwhelmed.
