More in Movies » In Theaters Critics' Go to Complete Biography » From All Movie Guide: Though it took a few years for his absurdist view of the world to catch on, French playwright Eugene Ionesco is considered a revolutionary whose works changed the face of 20th century theater. He is perhaps best known for Rhinoceros, a surreal social commentary on fascism in which a mild-mannered clerk witnesses everyone around him transforming into the brutish title beasts. Other well-known efforts include The Bald Soprano, The Chairs, and The Lesson. A native of Romania, born to a lawyer and a French woman, Ionesco spent his childhood in Paris, but returned to Romania when he was 13. He remained there through early adulthood, graduating from the University of Bucharest in literary criticism. Due to his upbringing, French was Ionesco's first language and he became a French teacher during the early '30s. He returned to France in 1938, on a special grant to pen a thesis on modern French poetry. Once back in Paris, Ionesco never got around to writing it. Instead he turned to writing plays, some of which, notably

   Extractions: Mark Gerson Romanian-born French playwright. The Bald Soprano (1950), inspired a revolution in dramatic techniques and helped inaugurate the Theatre of the Absurd . He followed it with other one-act plays in which illogical events create an atmosphere both comic and grotesque, including The Lesson The Chairs (1952), and The New Tenant (1955). His most popular full-length play, Rhinoceros (1959), concerns a provincial French town in which all the citizens are metamorphosing into rhinoceroses.

   Extractions: @import "profile.css"; Eugene Ionesco was born in November 1912 in Slatina, Rumania. Eugene Ionesco's mother was French and the family soon moved to Paris. Ionesco wrote his first play at 13. The family returned to Rumania and Eugene Ionesco studied French at the University of Bucharest, and he started to write poetry and literary criticism. Eugene Ionesco then began teaching French at a school in Bucharest. In 1936 Ionesco married Rodica Burileano and in 1938 they went back to France. During World War II Ionesco worked in a publishing house and, in 1944, his daughter, Marie-France was born. In 1948 Eugene Ionesco started learning English and it was the texts that he used featuring Mr and Mrs Smith that inspired the brilliant play, La Cantatrice Chauve translated as The Bald Prima Donna or The Bold Soprano. In the play Mrs Smith says: "Yoghurt is very good for the stomach, the lumber regions, appendicitis and apotheosis." Amongst other great plays, Eugene Ionesco wrote Rhinoceros, The Lesson, and The Chairs. In the end he published only one novel, Le Solitaire (The Hermit, 1973). It is a masterpiece, and starts: "At thirty-five, it's high time to quit the rat race. Assuming there is a rat race. I was sick and tired of my job. It was already late: I was fast approaching forty."

   Extractions: The Romanian-born , b. Nov. 26, 1912 [d. 1994], is one of the foremost playwrights of the Theater of the Absurd. The son of a Romanian father and a French mother, he spent most of his childhood in France, but in his early teenage years returned to Romania, where he qualified as a teacher of French and married in 1936. He returned to France in 1938 to complete his doctoral thesis. Caught by the outbreak of war in 1939, he settled there, earning his living as a proofreader for publishers. Ionesco came to playwriting almost by chance. Having decided to learn English, he was struck by the emptiness of the cliches of daily conversation that appeared in his phrase book. Out of such nonsensical sentences he constructed his first play, The Bald Soprano (1950; Eng. trans., 1958), which satirizes the deadliness and idiocy of the daily life of a bourgeois society frozen in meaningless formalities. Greatly surprised by the success of the play, Ionesco embarked on a career as a writer of what he called antiplays, which characteristically combine a dream or nightmare atmosphere with grotesque, bizarre, and whimsical humor. In his work the tragic and farcical are fused. In The Lesson (1951; Eng. trans., 1958), a teacher gains domination over his pupil through his superior use of language and finally kills her. In

   Biography of French playwright eugene ionesco, plus links to all of his works currently in print.  
   http://www.imagi-nation.com/moonstruck/clsc19.html
   
   Extractions: Ionesco did not write his first play until 1950. Having decided at the age of 40 that he ought to learn English, Ionesco acquired an English text and set to work, conscientiously copying whole sentences from his primer for the purpose of memorizing them. Rereading them attentively, he learned not English but some astonishing truthsthat, for example, there are seven days in the week, something he already knew; that the floor is down, the ceiling up, things he already knew as well, perhaps, but that he had never seriously thought about or had forgotten, and that seemed to him, suddenly, as stupefying as they were indisputably true. Ionesco set about translating his experience into a play, The Bald Soprano , which was staged by Nicolas Bataille on May 11, 1950, at the Noctambules. The Bald Soprano went unnoticed, however, until a few established writers and critics (Jean Anouilh, Raymond Queneau, and Jacques Lemarchand) saw the play and supported it publicly. Their campaign to attract an audience for the play succeeded and the middle-aged Ionesco soon found himself in a position of international renown. He went on to write more than twenty plays including Rhinoceros, The Chairs, Jack or The Submission, The Lesson, The Killer, Exit the King, Macbett

    Extractions: Great quotes to inspire, empower and motivate you to live the life of your dreams and become the person you've always wanted to be! I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a "will to renewal." This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of "crises" of rupture, repudiation and resistance. When there is no "crisis," there is stagnation, petrifaction and death. All thought, all art is aggressive. T he light of memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things, is the palest light of all. I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water. T he universe seems to me infinitely strange and foreign. At such a moment I gaze upon it with a mixture of anguish and euphoria; separate from the universe, as though placed at a certain distance outside it; I look and I see pictures, creatures that move in a kind of timeless time and spaceless space, emitting sounds that are a kind of language I no longer understand or ever register.

    Extractions: EUGENE IONESCO QUOTES When I was born, I was almost fourteen years old. That's why I was able to understand more easily than most what it was all about. EUGENE IONESCO, Jack, or The Submission Drama lies in extreme exaggeration of the feelings, an exaggeration that dislocates flat everyday reality. EUGENE IONESCO, Notes and Counter Notes I personally would like to bring a tortoise onto the stage, turn it into a racehorse, then into a hat, a song, a dragoon and a fountain of water. One can dare anything in the theatre and it is the place where one dares the least. EUGENE IONESCO, Notes and Counter Notes We are all looking for something of extraordinary importance whose nature we have forgotten; I am writing the memoirs of a man who has lost his memory. EUGENE IONESCO, Present Past / Past Present Oh words, what crimes are committed in your name! EUGENE IONESCO, Jack, or The Submission A person who has not completely lost the memory of paradise, even though it is a faint one, will suffer endlessly. He will feel the call of the essential world, will hear the voice that comes from so far away that one cannot find out where it comes from, a voice that cannot guide him. EUGENE IONESCO
