Teatru (2 from 2)

4.3/5 ( ratings)

Ucigaș fără simbrie
Rinocerii
Delir în doi, în trei...în cîți vrei
Regele Moare
Setea și foamea
Lacuna
With Tueur sans gages translated as The Killer , Ionesco began to explore more sustained dramatic situations featuring more humanized characters. Notably this includes Bérenger, a central character in a number of Ionesco's plays, the last of which is Le Piéton de l'air translated as A Stroll in the Air.
Bérenger is a semi-autobiographical figure expressing Ionesco's wonderment and anguish at the strangeness of reality. He is comically naïve, engaging the audience's sympathy. In The Killer he encounters death in the figure of a serial killer. In Rhinocéros he watches his friends turning into rhinoceroses one by one until he alone stands unchanged against this mass movement. It is in this play that Ionesco most forcefully expresses his horror of ideological conformism, inspired by the rise of the fascist Iron Guard in Romania in the 1930s. Le Roi se meurt translated as Exit the King shows him as King Bérenger 1st, an everyman figure who struggles to come to terms with his own death.
