Omar Elerian's revival of Ionesco's 'Rhinoceros' takes on the timeless theme of social conformism through an engaging design reminiscent of a science lab. The cast, in lab coats, portrays villagers grappling with the absurd as rhinoceroses invade their lives. Central characters Beringer and Jean ponder the meaning behind these events, leading to philosophical chaos. The production employs innovative techniques like breaking the fourth wall, live projections, and audience participation to underscore the play's commentary on groupthink, resonating with contemporary issues without direct references.
"The play's message has lost none of its relevance, highlighting the absurdity of social conformism, as demonstrated by the villagers in Rhinoceros."
