According to the representatives of the theater “Delfi”, the performance is staged by a creative group from Hungary, involving Latvian scenographers and costume designers Krista and Reini Dzudzilo in the team.

The comic absurd drama written by Eugene Jonesco in 1959 tells the story of a sleepy French province where rumors of a rhinoceros attack are raging. As long as a close friend has not turned into a rhinoceros, no resident of a small town seems to know about the problem of rhinos, where any precautions are still taken to protect themselves from rhinoceros. However, when a local resident, who has turned into a rhino, sabotages a beloved domestic cat, the inhabitants of the province are taken over by mass psychosis, which only the idleness of the town, Berange, is determined to resist, the plot of the production is sketched by its creators.

Director Ildiko Gāšpāra says about this work: “Basically, this is a story about how, under different circumstances, the main character is aware of himself, how he is aware of the society next to him and himself in it, it is about surrender. It makes you think about the ability to stand up for your individual I am glad to be able to work with this material at the Daile Theater, as well as with actors who are very open to my ideas, which are often less common because we experimented a lot. “Of course, humor is also present, and I hope that the viewer will understand its nuances as well.”
