Inaugurated by Eugène Ionesco with The Bald Soprano, Theatre of the Absurd portrays the difficulty of man to match the world he lives in with the grid of interpretation he would like to impose on it. However, there are multiple ways to bring out the comedy of this impossibility for reason to subject reality. Between a world devoid of a priori sense and humanity in search of an illusory meaning to its existence, opens up the bottomless pit of nonsense and absurdity. An absurd statement is a statement that does not account for reality, an absurd behavior is a behavior that has no control over it. Raymond Devos can also be cited as one of the great masters of absurd humor.
