ABOUT
Berenger, a likeable but somewhat alcoholic everyman figure, meets their friend Jean for a drink. As the overly-efficient Jean criticizes Berenger for their drinking and tardiness, a rhinoceros is suddenly spotted rumbling through the bustling streets of their city. This absurdist drama depicts the struggle of humanity to maintain identity and integrity alone in a world where all others have succumbed to the “beauty” of the herd.
