Eugene Ionesco: The Anti-Utopian Universe of the Theatre of the Absurd

Summary/Abstract: In this study, I analyze Eugene Ionesco’s theater of the absurd as an anti-utopian world. For this purpose, I bring peculiarities of utopian thought to bear on a comparison with the features of this anti-theater. The absurd as anti-utopia reveals itself in the destruction of categories such as language, action, character, object, space, time. I also take into consideration factors such as lighting or rhythm of the play. In my opinion, the absurd universe is the perfect illustration of scenarios of the worst possible worlds.
