Chicago Premiere - Rhynoceron traces the true events surrounding the arrival of a one-horned rhinoceros to Renaissance Europe, sparking an obsession that continued for hundreds of years. Through acts of hunting and collecting, KT Shivak's life-size, life-like rhino puppet transforms in front of our eyes from a natural inspiring wonder to an object of human greed. (Run time: 70 mins. Age:TBC).

About the Company - KT Shivak and company hail from Chicago where Rhynoceron was created with support from The Chicago International Puppet Theatre Festival. Rhynoceron premiered last May at New York's Puppetopia 2025, where it gave NewYorkTheater a "whoa moment," calling it "captivating," "endlessly inventive," with "cheeky invention." Shivak's realistic rhino puppet was also a star attraction in the recent Chicago Cultural Center exhibit, "Potential Energy: Chicago Puppets Up Close."
