Seven Siblings Theatre's RHINOCEROS Begins Today

For their second production in 2016, Seven Siblings Theatre presents Rhinoceros, a surreal theatrical experience written by avant-garde playwright Eugene Ionesco. This is Seven Siblings' most experimental production to date. This show is produced as a part of THE RHINOCEROS PROJECT, a ten day intensive experiment that shatters gender confinements, demands a series of physical and conceptual challenges, and explosively imagines Ionesco's work for a contemporary audience. Many of the roles have been cast in different genders than originally scripted, and the cast has only ten days to collaboratively explore and rehearse the play. As an added challenge, a list of ten things that must occur or appear in the production has been created, and the cast will explore how to incorporate them into the performances.

Seven Siblings Theatre has been creating theatre in Toronto since 2014 that aims to deepen the actor's psychophysical connection and tap into the distinct atmosphere of each play to produce a heightened and captivating performance for our audiences. We want to provoke our audience into asking questions of the play and of themselves, and Rhinoceros will be no exception.

Directed by co-founder and artistic director, Will King, Rhinoceros will be a unique theatrical production like Toronto has never seen before and is not to be missed.
