Rhinoceros
by Eugene Ionesco, Translated by Derek Prouse
Directed by Fadi Skeiker
In collaboration with the School of Music and the School of Dance at the University of the Arts
April 25 - 28, 2019 at the Arts Bank Theater
Imagine you live in a small town that is besieged by one roaring citizen who becomes a rhinoceros, tramples on the social order, and the rest of the town follows suit. Could you maintain your human form and identity, or would you, too, be lured into the "beauty" of brute force and violence? When all members of your society are thinking the same way and behaving the same way, will you want to be part of the mob? Or will you stick to your individuality, despite being alone in your human form? Eugène Ionesco's absurdist play, RHINOCEROS, is a simple story that raises complex questions about the responsibility of the citizen when faced with radical thoughts.
