Description

Written in 1959 by Eugène Ionesco, Rhinoceros is one of the fundamental works of the Theatre of the Absurd and one of the most celebrated political parables of the 20th century.

In a small town, the inhabitants inexplicably begin transforming into rhinoceroses. As the phenomenon spreads, what initially provokes astonishment, fear and revulsion gradually becomes commonplace, desirable and, ultimately, almost impossible to resist.

Ionesco thus creates a play about the contagion of ideas, conformity, the allure of collective strength and the difficulty of maintaining an Self when everyone chooses to belong to a We.
