Rhinoceros is director Robert Wilson's adaptation of the renowned absurdist comedy of Romanian playwright Eugène Ionescu. The production was mounted in Craiova, Romania at the invitation of the Teatrul Național "Marin Sorescu." As Ionescu spent much of his life in France, writing primarily in French, this staging marked a unique occasion for his work to be performed in his native tongue and country.
Since its premiere, Rhinoceros has been preformed at the Platanov Arts Festival in Voronezh, Russia, at the Cankarjev dom in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and live screened at the Grand Cinema in Bucharest, Romania during the Festivalul Național de Teatru.
