Dominique Pagani mentions Ionesco mainly to place the theatre of the absurd. He first links him with Adamov, in avant-garde theatre and then in the absurd12, and he also cites him with Beckett; he makes the three of them a triad: Ionesco, Beckett, Adamov3. He presents him as the comic version of this theatre4. Several times between 2015 and 2017, he quotes a line from The Bald Soprano: "Take a circle, caress it, and it will turn vicious"5. In 2022, he takes from the same play the figure of the fireman who asks people to promise not to listen, and he turns it into an image of Bellarmine6. In 2024, he cites The Lesson and its words that flutter about and no longer fall into the ears of the deaf, which he describes as tombs of linguistic cultures7. Ionesco also serves him as a reference point for placing Adamov, to whom he devotes a session.
