About the work
Jacques ou la Soumission is a one-act play by Eugène Ionesco in which Jacques resists the expectations and rituals imposed on him by his family. As the pressure to conform and marry Roberte increases, everyday conventions dissolve into absurd logic, wordplay and distanciation. Ionesco wrote the play in 1950; it premiered at the Théâtre de la Huchette in Paris in 1955.
