Rhino
Dramaturgical introduction + discussion after the performance
Subtitles in English language
In an unidentifiable town, normal or decent people gradually start turning into rhinos. They roam the city streets in large numbers, singing loudly and occasionally vandalising the surroundings. The play also opens a discussion about who is willing to undergo the transformation and find their place in the safety of the herd and who would rather still remain human. Can a little burst of love, meaning of life or work stop such a transformation? Or is the path to the desertion of humanity already inevitable? The metaphorical image of a totalitarian society becomes once again a warning of the ease with which a society can abandon its values and principles. Rhino is the key play of the Theatre of the Absurd.
