About this title

Synopsis

When the theatre explosives experts Rimini Protokoll light the fuse, the world and the theatre are blown in the air – and land, usually, happily back on the stage. Brilliant.” Neue Zürcher Zeitung Elderly ladies, teenagers, unemployed air traffic controllers, talented mayoral candidates, Vietnam soldiers, counsellors, Bulgarian long-­distance lorry drivers, Indian call centre workers – “real people” are ­always at the centre of Rimini Protokoll’s directorial work. Experts of their daily lives, they are the defining aspect of the documentary work of Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi and Daniel Wetzel. It is rare that the clash between fiction and reality is made so clear, and simultaneously so emotional and playful, as in the theatre of Rimini Protokoll. In this volume, journalists, academics and artists present and reflect upon the stage productions, as well as the site-specific works, audio tours and radio pieces of the successful trio of directors. With ­numerous colour photographs and a complete catalogue of works. Articles by Eva Behrendt, Miriam Dreysse, Ehren Fordyce, Heiner Goebbels, Hans-Thies Lehmann, Florian Malzacher, Annemarie Matzke, Tobi Müller, Priyanka Nandy, Matthias Pees, Rimini Protokoll, Kathrin Röggla, Jens Roselt and Gerald Siegmund.
