The premiere of the play based on Eugene Ionesco's play "Rhinoceros" took place in our theater in May 2024

The play “Rhinoceros” by Eugene Ionesco is one of the most striking works in the world drama of the 20th century. He wrote Rhinoceroses as a reaction to the social and political transformations of his time. The play tells the story of mysterious events in a small town where residents are gradually turning into rhinoceroses.

The main character, Berange, initially perceiving the phenomenon with distrust, tries to find a logical explanation for what is happening and maintain his individuality in conditions of public pressure. Gradually, people succumb to mass influence, lose their uniqueness and take on a new form, becoming part of the collective “herd”.

The tragedy is that the characters lose the ability to communicate and understand each other. The inability to find a common language leads to the destruction of human relationships and society as a whole.
