Rhinozeros - ein Comeback - Premiere

Fri 25.9. 20:00 Premiere · Sat 26.9. 20:00 · Sun 27.9. 19:00

manufaktor presents a performance with hand puppets, masks and material based on Eugène Ionesco - in German with English surtitles, 70 minutes. Entry: solidarity price 25 €, regular 18 €, reduced 12 €.

Certainties collapse. Lives are at risk. Horns are spreading. Three people seek shelter in a subway station while three animals press in on them relentlessly - yet the people are torn. Will they act? Inspired by Ionesco's "Rhinoceros", the piece turns its gaze on the authoritarian reshaping and fascist tendencies of the present day - from a queer-feminist perspective, drawing on expert interviews and the tools of puppet theatre.

Sensory notes: strobe effects, loud music. Content note: themes of right-wing extremism and fascism. Accessibility information for the venue: https://schaubude.berlin/de/barrierefreiheit/
