This relationship is presented from the perspective of the director which analyzes the stage directions regarding time and space. In the absurd context of the play, the article clarifies Ionesco`s point of view regarding the world he has created. It analyzes the light as a theme (as the Emperor enters the stage) and the circular space of isolation in which the carachters are trapped.
