Pangea World Theater is pleased to present Rhinoceros, by Eugène Ionesco. Rhinoceros combines whimsical humor with unsettling tragedy to question human nature at the most fundamental level.

Over the course of three acts, the inhabitants of a small town turn into rhinoceroses; ultimately the only human who does not succumb to this mass metamorphosis is the central character, Berenger, a flustered figure who is initially criticized in the play for his drinking, tardiness, and slovenly lifestyle and then, later, for his increasing paranoia and obsession with the rhinoceroses. 

Join us in exploring themes of conformity, fascism, social responsibility, mob mentality, philosophy, and morality with us in April. 

The Rhinoceros ensemble includes Ernest Briggs*, Tyler Stamm, Bruce Abas, Nate Kay, Kirby Bennett, Sayli Khadilkar, Mallory K. Lewis, Julie Ann Nevill, Sudarsna Mukund, and Shruti Priti Ramesh. Director Dipankar Mukherjee’s artistic team features Assistant Director Sir Curtis Kirby III, choreography by Sandra Agustin, lighting design by Brackley Frayer, set design by Orin Herfindal, costume design by Abigail Vaughan, sound design by Diego Vasquez Rios, music by Vladimir Garrido, and stage management by Suzanne Victoria Cross.
