Theatre
Acadia Theatre Company presents Eugene Ionesco's Rhinoceros adapted and directed by Michael Devine.
Being horny was never like this! A small town that's seen better days is overwhelmed by a sudden influx of rhinos. The town's foremost slacker, Berenger, watches in bemusement as it gradually becomes clear that the rhinos are townspeople who have transformed. Soon the majority becomes the minority and the remaining humans are faced with the ultimatum shouted out by the Rhino Boyz: adapt or die. This terrifyingly funny play takes the themes of intolerance and creeping dehumanization
which are so current in modern society and brings them to life through puppets, masks and stomping, chanting rhinos. At the heart of it all is Berenger, who faces the fundamental question: is there more to life than eating and rutting?
Ticket sales are cash or cheque only and please note that reserved tickets not picked up 10 minutes before the show will be sold at the door.
