Rhinoceros tickets
Daily life in a small village is unexpectedly interrupted when a rhinoceros barrels through, trampling pets and crushing the social order. As the villagers spout off about the pachyderm’s number of horns and racial origin, one beast becomes two, two become ten, and soon everyone succumbs to the allure of rhinoceritis: animal energy, brute force, and mindlessness. In this absurd satire of the human condition, will kind-hearted Daisy and slovenly Berenger remain steadfast in their commitment to humanist values – or succumb to the animal inside?
