![]() The political farce at stake in Ionesco’s play Rhinocéros is about the humanity of this inhuman epidemic through which almost everybody converts to the rhino-mania.īeyond the absurdity of the improvisation of this rhino-circus lies the fable of resistance and conformity, or, to put it into perspective, the resistance to the pressure of conformity. ![]() The rhino is a special one: not a wild, exotic animal escaped from a zoo, but some sort of a “human-rhino,” a human being turned into a beast. In a peaceful village somewhere in France, a cat is being run over by a rhino. ![]() Editor’s Note: Théâtre de la Ville perform Rhinocéros, a seminal theater of the absurd play, this October. ![]()
