Rimini Protokoll (DE/CH)
A Rimini Protokoll [Haug/Kaegi/Wetzel] production.
What is Europe really? A geographical border, a cultural identity, a coalition of states? It is often said that Europe is too theoretical an idea for individuals to talk about from their own experience. Rimini Protokoll contrasts this abstract idea of Europe with the individuality and intimacy of a private flat. 15 people take part in a living room performance, a sort of guided role play, which interweaves personal stories and political mechanisms of Europe in an attempt to answer the question: how much Europe is in all of us?
Each show takes place in a different house, travelling through hundreds of flats all over Europe, building a network that extends from door to door across the continent rather than starting from a centre.
The elements and images collected during the visits will be shared, anonymously, online at www.homevisiteurope.org, thus implementing a constantly developing European archive.
In collaboration with STANZE

Rimini Protokoll is today perhaps the most awarded artistic collective in Europe and a fundamental point of reference for all avant-garde theatre. Its members, Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi and Daniel Wetzel, came together in 2000 to form a collective of writer-directors. Since 2002, all their works – plays, radio plays, films and installations – have been signed Rimini-Protokoll. The focus of their research is the development of the expressive means of theatre to provoke new looks at reality. Each work draws on real life and uses elements and people from concrete situations and specific places. Thus Haug, Kaegi and Wetzel proclaim a general assembly of Daimler-Benz a play and, in doing so, transform it into one; they realise the 100% City project by bringing 100 real citizens onto the stage as a statistical sample to represent, among others, cities such as Berlin, Zurich, London, Melbourne, Copenhagen or San Diego. Or they go on tour with a group of Nigerian-European businessmen for the Lagos Business Angels project and with the paraplegic MC Hallwachs for the play Qualitätskontrolle (Haug / Wetzel) or create soundtracks for the most diverse cities in the world with the REMOTE X project (Kaegi). In April 2008 they won the European Theatre Prize in Thessaloniki in the category “New Realities”, and in 2011 the entire work of Rimini-Protokoll was awarded the Silver Lion at the 41. Venice Theatre Biennale.

REMOTE MILANO is a walking tour through the city guided by the electronic voice of a personal navigator who will speak in Italian.
A soundtrack written for Milan, which transforms the urban journey into a collective film.
A technological medium that directs and challenges its 50 participants: they are part of a collective entity, but the individual can make decisions for himself; he is both actor and spectator, observer and observed.
“Do the others listen to what I listen to?”
“How will we make common decisions?”
Artificial intelligence directs, but it also stimulates an altered perception that prompts people to look at reality and at themselves in a completely new way.
A game, an experience, a journey.
Milan as you have never seen it.

Rimini Protokoll is today perhaps the most awarded artistic collective in Europe and a fundamental point of reference for all avant-garde theatre.
Its members, Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi and Daniel Wetzel, met in the 1990s while studying at the Institut für Angewandte Theaterwissenschaften at the University of Gießen. In 2000 they joined forces to form a collective of author-directors whose members can choose to work alone, in twos or threes. Since 2002, all their works – plays, radio plays, films and installations – have been signed Rimini-Protokoll.
At the heart of their research is the development of the expressive means of theatre to provoke new looks at reality. Each work draws on real life and uses elements and people from concrete situations and specific places.
Thus Haug, Kaegi and Wetzel proclaim a general assembly of the Daimler-Benz pièce theatre and, in so doing, transform it into one; they realise the 100% City project by bringing 100 real citizens onto the stage as a statistical sample to represent, among others, cities such as Berlin, Zurich, London, Melbourne, Copenhagen or San Diego. In Berlin and Dresden they develop audio installations about the Stasi, during which the spectator can listen to the real spy protocols of the GDR secret service with his mobile phone. They are currently touring with a group of Nigerian-European businessmen for the Lagos Business Angels project and with paraplegic MC Hallwachs for the play Qualitätskontrolle (Haug / Wetzel) or creating soundtracks for the most diverse cities in the world with the REMOTE X project (Kaegi).
In 2003 the play Shooting Bourbaki was awarded the NRW-Impulse prize; the projects Deadline (2004), Wallenstein – eine dokumentarische Inszenierung (2006) and Situation Rooms (2014) were invited to the prestigious Berliner Theatertreffen festival; Schwarzenbergplatz (2005) was nominated for the Austrian Nestroy Theatre Prize; Mnemopark was awarded the jury prize of the Berlin “Politik im freien Theater” Festival in 2005; and in 2007 the radio play Karl Marx: Das Kapital. Erster Band won both the audience prize and the Mülheimer Dramatiker Preis jury prize at the national contemporary drama festival Stücke 2007.
In November 2007 Haug, Kaegi and Wetzel received a special prize from the Deutsches Theaterpreis DER FAUST; in April 2008 they were awarded the Thessaloniki European Theatre Prize in the category “New Realities”; in 2008 the radio play Karl Marx: Das Kapital, Erster Band received the Blind War Veterans Prize (for which the radio play Peymannbeschimpfung was also nominated).
In 2011 Rimini-Protokoll’s entire work was awarded the Silver Lion at the 41st Venice Biennale. Venice Theatre Biennale.
Since 2003 Rimini Protokoll has been based in Berlin in the offices of the Hebbel am Ufer theatre.
Remote Milano is part of Milano Cuore d’Europa, the multidisciplinary cultural programme dedicated to the European identity of our city also through the figures and movements that, with their history and artistic production, have contributed to building its European citizenship and cultural dimension.
