“…Cristina Scarlat (2011) also addressed the issue of performance by Lagarce as a way of rewriting the play text. In addition, an article is written by Simeon Sandrine (2017) to analyze the intermediality between the filmic and theatrical forms of the play. Among these articles, Lara Cox (2013: 104) contributes in a significant way to the review literature on this issue as she reconsiders the death of avant-garde and she makes the statement that "the specific circumstances of this production history allow us to see the show not as a hegemonic, de-politicizing cultural institution…but as an impetus for aesthetic experimentation with La Cantatrice Chauve beyond the Huchette"s walls".…”

This study attempts to investigate the process of canonization that Ionesco"s initial play went through by means of Martin Esslin"s famous work of theater criticism that labeled the unknown plays of the 50"s "absurd". The present study argues that Esslin"s attempt to canonize these plays under the label of The Theater of the Absurd did not do justice to the ethical perspectives that these plays set forth. My contribution to this topic will be focusing on a postmodern performance by Jean-Luc Lagarce to try to elucidate how his performance of The Bald Soprano challenged the prejudged attitude of the audience through challenging the previously established beliefs concerning the Theater of the Absurd. The semiotics as the study of the way meaning is created will be drawn on. In The Semiotics of Theater, Erika Fischer-Lichte outlines the internal theatrical code at three different levels of system, norm and speech. Here, the emphasis will be on speech to illuminate the staging by Lagarce and explain how a classic work precipitates postmodern production from within the established canon.
