Summary/Abstract: We live in a world where we have the impression that things escape any logic, whom everything is against oneself and whom there are no rules(rulers). We can call it " an absurd world ", a world of the nonsense and the irrational. Having in mind this assertion : "I find that the whole world is absurd", made by a playwright and a French writer of Romanian origin, Eugène Ionesco, I decided to make a research on main plays that he wrote and see how he presents the nonsense of the world, by insisting on the structures and the hypostases of the characters. Because I can assert that all that Eugène Ionesco wrote gets organized around the "absurd" word .Il involves a dramatic art in which the nonsense and the grotesque receive a satiric and metaphysical reach .While we evoke the name of Ionesco today, we think at first of his theater and the wave of innovation, we think to The bald Opera singer or in of Rhinoceros.
