Eugene Ionesco: An avant-garde man...

Vendor: DRAMATISTS

An avant-garde man is like an enemy inside a city he is bent on destroying, against which he rebels; for like any system of government, an established form of expression is also a form of oppression.

-- Eugene Ionesco, (Nov 26 1912-1994), Romanian-French dramatist; His one-act antiplay La Cantatrice Chauve, 1949 (The Bald Soprano) inspired a revolution in dramatic techniques including parody and slapstick.
