The world classic Rhinocéros charges again—reimagined through the rhythm of Korean traditional performance.

On a quiet Sunday afternoon, a rhinoceros storms across a small town square.

People argue whether it is Asian or African—but the real transformation has already begun.

By Monday, a colleague changes. A friend changes.

The rhinoceros is not a creature from elsewhere—it is a human transformed from within.

With the pounding of drums—doom, doom, doom—the square trembles, and the herd grows.

When everyone else has changed, what remains?

Is it possible to be the last human standing?

The 2026 production of Rhinocéros refuses to stay within a fixed stage.

Each theatre’s architecture reshapes the experience, placing the audience at the center of a shifting space.

And the question lingers:

What are we becoming—right now?
