This paper explains about the immersion process for acting the role of Queen Mahrit by Eugène Ionesco. The concept from Theatre of the Absurd becomes the foundation of this acting process. Exit the King picks up the theme about Death that is perceived to be still relevant util now.Exit The King give us a message that life in this world is only for a while. We life from day by day, month by month, year by year always with destiny of death. The absurdity that we have gone through in this world lies on how we live in struggles that ends with death. Why is there life if there is death ? Because the reason for life also a reason for death, thus it is death who controls our life. When death has come to us, then our life in the world is finished. Key word : Exit the King, Absurd, Eugène Ionesco, Queen Mahrit.
