Eugène Ionesco, uno dei più importanti drammaturghi del Teatro dell'Assurdo, rappresenta in modo magistrale la solitudine e l'insignificanza dell'esistenza umana. Le sue opere ridicolizzano le situazioni più banali, usandole come mezzo tangibile per esplorare profondi temi esistenziali. La scrittura di Ionesco approfondisce i paradossi della vita moderna, mettendo in discussione le forme convenzionali di espressione. Impiega abilmente il linguaggio per esporre il divario tra parole e realtà.






First produced in 1963 starring Alec Guinness and successfully revived to great acclaim on Broadway in 2009, this absurdist exploration of ego and mortality is set in the crumbling throne-room of the palace in an unnamed country where King Berenger the First has only the duration of the play to live.-3 women, 3 men
While each play in the Berenger cycle is unique, they are all prime examples of Ionesco's conception of the theatre of the absurd, and touch on themes that preoccupied Ionesco throughout his career, such as mortality, alienation, freedom and the evils of Fascism.
A collection of three modern plays by the master of the absurd and member of the French Academy.
A collection of three plays including "Rhinoceros", "The Chairs", and "The Lesson."
In a house on an island a very old couple pass their time with private games and half-remembered stories. With brilliant eccentricity, Ionesco's 'tragic farce' combines a comic portrait of human folly with a magical experiment in theatrical possibilities.
