Rimini Protokoll

Founded in 2002, the collective Rimini Protokoll has developed their very own branch of experimental theater, documentary performance, film, installations, and actions. Based at the theater HAU Hebbel am Ufer in Berlin, around the corner from PRAXES, yet touring extensively around the world, the group continuously test and augment audience relations and agency. Neither a theater nor an archive, PRAXES aims to stage dialogues between placeholders, “Ich-Vertretern,” and other surprising experts of the everyday. Divided into various Chapters, this Cycle presents the first extensive investigation of the practice of Rimini Protokoll in an art institution, drawing on a carefully orchestrated crash between live actions, exhibitions, and the making of a book.

Rimini Protokoll has presented work—produced collectively as well as by the individual members, Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi, and Daniel Wetzel—in countless festivals and theaters internationally. Current productions include World Climate Change Conference, Situation Rooms, and 100% City. A new production Homevisit: Europe opens in Berlin in May 2015.
