RHINO
Out Innerspace
2024
Out Innerspace’s new creation features an unlikely constellation of characters past their heyday asking if their best days are behind them. A Rhino, Skeleton, Matador, Oil and a Cockroach fight for relevance, face opportunity for transformation and discover what they bring into uncertain futures. A comedy and tragedy tightrope, Rhino prioritizes what is essential for enduring time and the threatened extinction of our dreams. OIS’s expressive and interactive production design creates a limitless “elsewhere” using transformation, ritual and humour help connect human longevity to the necessary survival of creatures, concepts, values and things.
