It starts with two
rhinoceroses (or was it the same one twice?), rampaging through the
quiet town square, a momentary disruption to daily life. Very soon there
are more, grunting and snorting, running amok and destroying everything
in their path. Berenger, a kindhearted drunkard, is determined to
resist, even as more and more of the people around him succumb to the
transformation – but what can one simple man do in the face of such a
monstrous force?
Eugène Ionesco was a Romanian-French playwright and one of the foremost
figures of the French Avant-garde theatre. He wrote Rhinoceros in 1958
as a response to totalitarian movements in Europe and was influenced by
rise of fascism during his time living in Romania in the 1930’s.
A new staged reading series, Politics of the Absurd will feature
concert-style performances of three classic absurdist comedies whose
messages feel all too relevant in today’s modern political environment.
