Do Rhinos Feel Their Horns?

(or can they not see them like how we can’t see our noses)

“sharp, satirical moments... its own species of riotous fun and sneaky caricature.”
The Straits Times

"Both sly and playful, cartoonish and radical.”
The Scotsman

"Runs wild with artistic licence... Playful, political, specifically Singaporean but speaks to the world we live in."
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Broadway Baby

"What seems deceptively simple on the surface has many hidden depths that gradually occur to you long after the show has ended" ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Real Chrisparkle

"Entertaining as it was informative, and as absurd as it was thoughtful."
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rhinoceroses or capybaras? Blackpink or something less cling clangy? Two old friends are making a radio play for the internet—this week’s episode is about the ‘rhinoceritis’ epidemic in the 1980s.

Do Rhinos Feel Their Horns? is rooted in Eugene Ionesco’s Rhinoceros but re-asks what conformism means as we live through what is objectively the best time in human history. It is funny, bleak, sometimes joyous, but always full of play. Expect some interesting sounds.

In Rhinos, Gangguan! brings together a new gang including Adeeb Fazah of the much-beloved Second Breakfast Company, actors Shannen Tan and Melbourne Fringe award-winning Cheryl Ho, as well as Straits Times Life Awards-nominated sound artist Vick Low.

Following its Singapore run in May, Rhinos is opening at the Edinburgh Fringe where it will run from 15th to 27th August at Summerhall.
