Sylvain Dhomme was an award winning young theater person who connected with the as yet not well known Romanian playwright Eugene Ionesco in Paris and managed to land the task of directing The Chairs for its 1952 premiere.Even if it did not turn out exactly as the author intended, Dhomme continued his adaptations of the theater of the absurd with a German television version of The Bald Soprano and a segment of the mostly New Wave film compilation of 1962, The Seven Deadly Sins, on Anger, loosely based also on Ionesco .Later in his eclectic career as writer, actor, and director, Dhomme made several programs on avant-garde composers such as Karlheinz Stockhausen and Pierre Schaeffer.
