The rhinoceros is an emblem of Europe. Since antiquity, it has been associated with imperial power: as a heraldic animal, a precious gift among potentates, and a center of spectacle. But its horn and armor, relics of a primeval beast, are a heavy legacy: thick-skinned and resilient, well-fed and sure-footed, it could look confidently to the future. But its vision is limited, hence its irritability. How can a half-blind, multi-ton animal dare to take the leap into the future? Rhinoceros 5 addresses the lies that are eroding our society. Right-wing authoritarian forces want to make lies the truth once again. How do we respond to this attack on the struggle for truthfulness? And how can the republic be defended against the distortion of reality?
