A rhinoceros is a play by Eugène Ionesco. In imagination directed by Robert Wilson but it was created somewhere between surrealism, magical realism and absurdity enigmatic drama Rhinoceros, in which imagination leaps over the barriers of reality and pushes the boundaries of logic and classical perception of the world. Theater magic opens views into other dimensions, when humans gradually turn into rhinos and reality gives way to the unreal. What Ionesco attempts with words, Wilson shows with images. It shows us the world as we have never seen it before, nor imagined it in our dreams.
