HBS Art Society @ American Repertory Theater: Rhinoceros

Join the Art Society in Harvard Square for a performance of the absurdist theater classic Rhinoceros, preceded by a private pre-show talk from the Dramaturge, Ryan McKittrick. The talk will run from 6:15–7pm, and the performance will start at 7:30pm.

Synopsis: Everything seems normal one Sunday morning… until it’s not. One by one, friends and colleagues transform into rhinoceroses, and Berenger is forced to decide: will he follow the crowd or stand his ground? As resonant as when it premiered in the wake of the Second World War, Rhinoceros reminds us of the importance of holding on to our humanity amidst mounting pressures to conform. Eugène Ionesco’s landmark play is staged in a new adaptation by A.R.T. based on Derek Prouse’s seminal translation.
