A normal day in a normal town – but suddenly a rhinoceros is racing through the streets. Shortly afterwards, a second rhinoceros storms past and the transformation begins: residents feel unwell, their skin hardens, their voices become hoarse until they can only pant. Veins swell, body temperature skyrockets, and eventually they themselves become rhinos, breaking through walls, shaking houses and trampling everything in their path. Where will this transformation lead?

In DIE NASHÖRNER (14+) based on Eugène Ionesco, choreographed by URSina Tossi, six performers encounter characters and locations from the play, slipping into and out of roles – layer by layer, like different skins. It is about fascism and what happens to the body when fascism takes hold: anger, fear and grief. It is about the pleasure that can be found in destruction, but also about the desire to hold hands and resist the transformation. A powerful dance piece with integrated artistic audio description for people with and without visual impairments, which transports the audience to a state where they can feel the trampling and snorting of the rhinos.
