Rhinoceros in Love celebrates its 20th birthday in Beijing
Acclaimed as "the bible of love for young people", Rhinoceros in Love by China's avant-garde theater director Meng Jinghui will be staged in Beijing from Dec 10 to Jan 5 to celebrate its 20th birthday since its 1999 premier in the Chinese capital.
Rhinoceros in Love will be performed at the Fengchao (Honeycomb) Theater which the director specifically spruced up for the show in 2008.
As one of Meng's beloved experimental works, the play tells a triangle love story in which a young man named Ma Lu is deeply enamored with a woman named Mingming and tries everything he can to win her heart. But after he fails, Ma, like a stubborn rhinoceros, goes to an extreme by kidnapping Mingming in the name of love.
