Ionesco's Rhinoceros

A hilarious take on Eugene Ionesco’s classic anti-fascist play, Theatre Lab (Youth) pulls out all the stops with physical theatre, chorus and clown to delve into their most pressing issue today - the peer pressure and herd mentality faced by teenagers.

“Noone believed it

But the herd was growing…

Multiplying

Maskafying

Glorifying

Speechifying

Horrifying

Classifying

Disqualifying

Objectifying

Nothing more than

Brute/ Fear/ Hide/ Horn”

This play is for everyone…children and adult, alike. It is an important script in the world of theatre. It brought Theatre of the Absurd into the public eye and is as relevant today as when it premiered at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus on November 1, 1959.

In fact, some would say, it is even more so. It is a perennially relevant play.

If you’ve never watched Ionesco’s Rhinoceros on stage…do not miss what these young people do with it!
