Humor is not only amusement or laughing since Freud had studied its effects in the psychic economy. During the translation of an american play, "The zoo story" by Albert Albee, the author comes to the contribution of the so called " theatre of the absurd" , to psychoanalysis while it has its focus on the difficulties of language communication, the helplessness, solitude and abandonment of mankind.

Keywords : humor; non-sense; Theatre of the absurd; impossibilty of communication; solitude; helplessness; abandonment.
