with integrated artistic audio description (in German)
Dance piece based on Eugène Ionesco. Translated from the French by Claus Bremer and H.R. Stauffacher: It's a perfectly normal day in a perfectly normal town – but suddenly a rhinoceros is racing through the streets.
Can this really be happening, the inhabitants ask themselves. Nobody reacts, instead they speculate about where it came from and how many horns it has. A little later, a second rhino storms by and shortly after that, the whole city is gripped by misfortune:
Residents feel unwell, their skin hardens into a shell, their voices become hoarse until they are nothing more than snorts. Veins swell, body temperature shoots up and finally they themselves become rhinos, breaking through walls, shaking houses and trampling everything. In the end, only one person remains.
Ionesco's ‘The Rhinos’ tells of the dissolution of the individual in the mass and questions the seductiveness and danger that lies in this.
Choreographer URSina Tossi transforms this modern classic into a dance piece with integrated artistic audio description for people with and without visual impairments.
