The Chairs

The Chairs (French: Les Chaises) is a one-act play by Eugène Ionesco, described as an absurdist "tragic farce". It was first performed in Paris in 1952.[1]

For Ionesco's Sandaliha (The Chairs), Bahman Mohasses[2] created a number of decorative and expressive chairs that when put together suggested an abstract forest.
