  • Theatre of the Absurd : Its Themes and Form
    THE THEATRE OF THE ABSURD: ITS THEMES AND FORM by LETITIA SKINNER DACE A. B., Sweet Briar College, 1963 A MASTER'S THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of Speech KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 1967 Approved by: c40teA***u7fQU(( rfi" Major Professor il PREFACE Contemporary dramatic literature is often discussed with the aid of descriptive terms ending in "ism." Anthologies frequently arrange plays under such categories as expressionism, surrealism, realism, and naturalism. Critics use these designations to praise and to condemn, to denote style and to suggest content, to describe a consistent tone in an author's entire ouvre and to dissect diverse tendencies within a single play. Such labels should never be pasted to a play or cemented even to a single scene, since they may thus stifle the creative imagi- nation of the director, actor, or designer, discourage thorough analysis by the thoughtful viewer or reader, and distort the complex impact of the work by suppressing whatever subtleties may seem in conflict with the label. At their worst, these terms confine further investigation of a work of art, or even tempt the critic into a ludicrous attempt to squeeze and squash a rounded play into a square pigeon-hole. But, at their best, such terms help to elucidate theme and illuminate style. Recently the theatre public's attention has been called to a group of avant - garde plays whose philosophical propensities and dramatic conventions have been subsumed under the title "theatre of the absurd." This label describes the profoundly pessimistic world view of play- wrights whose work is frequently hilarious theatre, but who appear to despair at the futility and irrationality of life and the inevitability of death.

  • The Theatre of the Absurd
    The Theatre of the Absurd /RUHGDQD$'Ă6&Ă/,ğEI1 Abstract: The theatre of the absurd is as old as the notion of dramatic play, only it was not very explicit until the nineteenth century, because its features did not stand out in the classical theatre. The theatre of the absurd is the expression of the search of the self, of the faith, of the spirit. It is said that once the ancient forms of art lose their validity, new mechanisms must be found. The theatre of the absurd tries to convince the world regarding the reality of its condition. In his theatre, Ionescu does not hide his mechanisms, but makes them as obvious as possible. The way in which Ionescu's concepts are used in a dramatic form closely follows the structures established for each play. The playwright is constantly disturbed by mortality, which is the ultimate paradox of an irrational existence. The exaggerations, the paradox, the contradictions, the crisis of the language, the surreal images, they are all attached to death in grotesque distortions. Key-words: Eugen Ionesco; the theater of the absurd; mechanisms; the theme of death. 1.

  • THE BALD SOPRANO” October 23 – November 22, 2009
    media contact: erica lewis-finein brightbutterfly pr brightbutterfly[at]hotmail.com CUTTING BALL THEATER OPENS 10 TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON WITH IONESCO’S ABSURDIST MASTERPIECE “THE BALD SOPRANO” October 23 – November 22, 2009 SAN FRANCISCO (August 30, 2009) – San Francisco’s cutting-edge Cutting Ball Theater opens its 10 th season with Eugène Ionesco’s comic masterpiece THE BALD SOPRANO , in a new translation by Cutting Ball Artistic Director Rob Melrose . This hysterically funny play is the perfect follow up to last season’s hit production of Ionecso’s Victims of Duty , which garnered a Bay Area Critics Circle award for Best Production. Featuring Paige Rogers , David Sinaiko , Caitlyn Louchard , Donell Hill , Derek Fischer , and Anjali Vashi with direction by Rob Melrose , THE BALD SOPRANO plays October 23 through November 22 (Press opening: October 29 ) at the Cutting Ball Theater in residence at Exit on Taylor (277 Taylor Street) in San Francisco. For tickets ($15-30) and more information, the public may visit cuttingball.com or call 800-838-3006 . In THE BALD SOPRANO , Mr. and Mrs. Smith invite Mr. and Mrs. Martin over for a cheerful dinner. Plans for a sedate evening soon give way to hilarious chaos as polite conversation turns to confusion and the two couples engage in an escalating battle of linguistic acrobatics. Simultaneously comic and profound, THE BALD SOPRANO , about which The New York Times recently said, “The play has not aged. One might even suggest that we have caught up with [it],” is a play that breaks all the rules. While trying to learn English, Ionesco noticed the absurdity of the dialogues between the husband and wife in the textbook he was studying - she would inform him that they live in London, that they have three children, that the ceiling is above them and the floor is below them, all things he already knew perfectly well.

  • A Director's Approach to Ionesco's Rhinoceros Chad Landon Kennedy
    ABSTRACT Unpacking the Individual: A Director’s Approach to Ionesco’s Rhinoceros Chad Landon Kennedy, M.F.A. Chairperson: Stan Denman, Ph.D. In 1959, French-Romanian playwright Eugene Ionesco debuted his play, Rhinoceros, and the theatergoing world was captivated by the curious image of people turning into pachyderms. This fable about herd mentality and being comfortable in one’s own skin is continually timely, as humans and rhinos often pit people against the pack. While critics have pointed to historic inspirations for the script for years, the play is more effective as an individual exploration of what it means to be human. Like much of Ionesco’s work, it reveals a strong concern for individualism and upholding human dignity. This thesis examines the production process that brought Rhinoceros to the Baylor University stage in December 2019 for a weeklong run. It explores the playwright’s life and work, as well as historical productions of the play, before turning attention to the directorial analysis of the script. Directing concepts and production designs are then outlined to trace the development of the play from rehearsals through performances to highlight lessons learned throughout the collaborative process. Unpacking the Individual: A Director's Approach to Ionesco's Rhinoceros by Chad Landon Kennedy, B.A., B.S., M.A. A Thesis Approved by the Department of Theatre Arts DeAnna Toten Beard, Ph.D., Chairperson Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Baylor University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Fine Arts Approved by the Thesis Committee Stan Denman, Ph.D., Chairperson David Jortner, Ph.D.

Article History: Submitted-18/01/2021, Revised-19/02/2021, Accepted-23/02/2021, Published-28/02/2021. Abstract: Ionesco’s view humor serves as a diagnostic tool to escape anxieties and tensions of life. It seems Ionesco was influenced by Cervantes since both the writers use the tools of comedy to expose and ridicule the contemporary society. The common feature of form is the use of an “imaginary reality” as the focal point of each play of Ionesco. Ionesco uses the tools of parody, burlesque, grotesque realism and the technique of mask in the plot. The plot is loaded with puns, spoonerisms, equivocations, misunderstandings and countless nonsensical drolleries. This paper is going to be an in-depth study of Ionesco’s play Victims of Duty which dramatizes fun and games of the protagonists. All the major three characters Choubert, Madeleine and the Detective play fun games. The games begin with the arrival of the Police Chief who intervene in their private life and the elements of dreams and illusions add interest in the drama.
