MOVING THE HIPPOS

>>The zoo, as seen through the goggles, is themed on the avante garde
>>Theatre of the Absurd, making references to the plays "Rhinoceros",
>>"The Madwoman of Chaillot", and "Waiting For Godot".  If you wander
>>around enough, some of the animals start turning into rhinoceroses.
>>There is also a reference to the author Kafka, who, although
>>not involve in theatre, wrote a short story about a man turning into
>>a giant cockrach.

>>The animals also give hints through their gestures and sounds.
>>Later, when you have developed the ability to understand animals,
>>you should come back and find out what they're trying to tell you.

>>The zoo is a real place and Martin goes their regularly without
>>the goggles (he uses a real penguin feather instead of the
>>fictional penguins).  You however, become very attached to the
>>penguins, as if they were your nephews, and the thought of
>>being at the zoo without them is too sad for you.  Since without the
>>goggles the penguins would be lawn ornaments in the front
>>garden, your experience of the zoo will always be fictional with the
>>goggles.
