Rhinoceros Play by Eugène Ionesco (Farsi)

Description

Rhinocéros by Eugène Ionesco is a bitter, allegorical fantasy about the metamorphosis of ordinary people into beasts. In a seemingly normal town, individuals obsessed with routine, status, wealth, and intellectual pretension gradually transform into rhinoceroses. Those who claim superiority—whether through knowledge, power, or social standing—prove just as blind and susceptible to collective delusion as the masses they disdain. The grotesque epidemic symbolizes ideological conformity and moral surrender. Amid this collapse, one modest, unassuming man refuses to yield, standing alone against the tide. Through absurdist imagery and dark satire, Ionesco affirms individual integrity in the face of dehumanizing social pressure.
