In a town, Berenger and his friend Jean are having a talk in a café. All of sudden, a rhinoceros comes storming in. Quickly, rhinoceros start becoming more and more frequent in town. The inhabitants come to realize that the animals are all men transforming into monsters. The question then is: to become a rhinoceros like everybody else or to resist. Behind this absurd three act play, is a critic to society reflecting the post-WW2 political terror. Rhinoceros, written by the avant-garde genie Eugene Ionesco, portrays the absurdity of mankind through unusual characters such as Berenger, drowned in profoundness and alcohol, and a not-so logical logician. More than we would want to, today Rhinoceros is still a mirror to contemporary menaces.
