| Abstract: | The theatre develops the stage imaginary from its artistic paratextual elements. The roots of the spectacular can no longer be found in the literary factor as the relationship between the playwright and the stage director has changed: they work together. The XXth century drama offers a permissive, flexible and modular writing. With Ionesco’s theatre, the stage directions – essential paratextual elements – receive a very important literary role and should not be ignored. They leave their guiding role as dialogue adjuvants, addressed rather to the stage director than to the readers, making the latter a sort of accomplice to the author, emphasizing the imaginary to the detriment of the representation. The stage directions are deliberately intended for reading, denouncing the impossible coincidence between the text and the stage representation, between words and things. We shall look at how Ionesco transgresses the very purposes of the stage directions: to inform and explain. |
