Rhinocéros entre absurde et optimisme

Abstract

The theater of the absurd is the antithesis of drama created and institutionalized by the Aristotelian
poetics. If before the action is centered around a story, by the diegesis mimetic turns idle not focusing on the
mechanisms that will make the speech a weapon against the person who utters it. It is a sterile word, wave
surfing on the absence and emptiness. Rhinocéros belongs to this movement.The twentieth century is said to be
the century of all changes: philosophical, ideological, political, literary. The universal equilibrium is lost. It is a
world falling apart, and the foundations that have ordered are violated. A new world where he set up his
foundation is no question of opposing a system that wants to globalizing and "rhinocérique" calling the massive
and without equivocation.
