Rhinoceros was written by Eugene Ionesco and is a part of the Theatre of the Absurd movement. Rhinoceros took place in three different locations in the Elliot Programming Center on Lake Lag and experimented with different modes of audience interaction and placement. Audience members were invited to engage with the spaces, becoming diners in a café and office workers.
