THE WALKS is an app with a series of walks by German theatre company, Rimini Protokoll. Each walk is a short audio experience for a specific place in your city, and an invitation to rediscover and interact with your environment.
It takes approximately 20 minutes to do an audio walk. Get going whenever you want. You decide how many of the walks you’d like to do and in what order. The stories and soundscapes in the short audio experiences are global in scope. “The Walks” connects people around the world in a local experience via the fundamental human action of walking.
Walking in public gained new meaning with the COVID-19 pandemic. An ancient, daily ritual became an integral part of the new normality. People meet, walk, stroll through neighborhoods, play in landscapes, and perceive their environment anew with every stride.
THE WALKS understands walking as a theatrical scenario – an audio-guided walk in parks, a staged walk in supermarkets or timed interactions on riverbanks. In every city, voices, sounds, and music turn familiar places into sites and landscapes into stages step by step through storytelling, dialogical situations, choreographic discoveries, or musical and rhythmic variations on walking. The title of every walk indicates where or how to do it: “Walk for a cemetery,” “Walk along the water,” or “Walk around a roundabout.”
THE WALKS is a production of Rimini Apparat co-produced by ZONA K

BIO
Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi and Daniel Wetzel founded the theatre-label Rimini Protokoll in 2000 and have since worked in different constellations under this name. Rimini Protokoll often develop their stage-works, interventions, performative installations and audio plays together with experts who have gained their knowledge and skills beyond the theatre. Furthermore, they like to transpose rooms or social structures into theatrical formats. Many of their works feature interactivity and a playful use of technology.
On top of that, Rimini Protokoll received the Mülheimer Dramatikerpreis for “Karl Marx: Das Kapital, Erster Band”, the German theatre award Faust, the Grand Prix Theatre from the Swiss Federal Office for Culture, the European Theatre Award, the Silver Lion at the Theatre Biennale in Venice, as well as the German Audio Play Award and the War Blinded Audio Play Prize.
Since 2003, the production office of Rimini Protokoll is in Berlin.
This year, for the Human Rights Festival, we have decided to propose a program entitled PROJECT AND DEVICE – traces of a multimedia theatre in which we present three different examples of how theatre questions the crisis of democracy, the role of the media in shaping reality, and the new digital roads. In this sense, theatre is once again an instrument of civil reflection, not only for its contents but also for the devices used.
Valentina Kastlunger and Valentina Picariello, artistic directors of ZONA K, will introduce the meetings.
21 April, 16:30 – 17:00
THEATRE | Art, Algorithm and Automation. The journey of _Phase Nine with the Rimini Protokolls
with Riccardo Tabilio and Chiara Campara, artists of the collective work FASE NOVE // Assolo Urbano
The pandemic emergency has led to a division of social components into relevant and non-relevant. Artistic professions have not been included among the socially necessary. Should we think of a world without art and those who work in it? Can such a deep crisis be an opportunity? FASE NOVE // Assolo Urbano is an urban walk through the most important places for art in Milan, which become the stage for audio installations that, through interviews with various experts, confront the provocative question: Why does art exist?
22 April, 16:30 – 17:00
THEATRE | Play me: technological devices between gaming and live performance
with Andrea Ciommiento, creative director for Play Me (ZONE K)
Teenagers, hyper-connected and fragile, terrified and attracted by the image of themselves on social media, experts in sexting, video-gaming and binge drinking, owners of SmartPhones as an extension of their bodies. Do we really know them? In this performance the spectator will relate to them in an immersive experience. PLAY ME (ORIGINS PROJECT) is the result of work on the stories of young people encountered during the dramaturgical research phase in Turin and Milan. Production ZONA K, conceptual and dramaturgical support Agrupación Señor Serrano.
23 April, 16:30 – 17:00
THEATRE | The Mountain. Does the truth exist?
with Pau Palacios of Agrupación Señor Serrano
Climbing a mountain means overcoming difficulties to reach the top and see the world “as it is”. But often, when you look down from above, you see clouds and fog covering everything and the landscape is constantly changing. What is the world like then? What is the truth like? Does it exist? In The Mountain, the latest show by the award-winning Catalan company, the first Everest expedition with an uncertain outcome, Orson Welles with the War of the Worlds, a fake news website, a drone scanning the audience, snow, fragmented images and Vladimir Putin speaking contentedly about trust and truth converge.
A project by ZONA K and Casa degli Artisti
The pandemic emergency led to a division of the social components into systemically relevant and not relevant. For many it was also a psychological polarization: between what is essential and what is superfluous. The artistic professions are not among those socially necessary.
Should we think of a world in which art will no longer play a role? Can we imagine a reality that cancels the existence of art and of those who work there? What relationship can art have with each of us in this state of crisis? Is something that has long since gotten stale about to end? Can such a profound crisis be an opportunity?
PHASE NINE || Urban Solo invites us to ask ourselves these questions in the context of the city. Nine important places for art in Milan – some iconic, others unusual – become the stage for nine audio installations which, through interviews with various experts, are confronted with a provocative question: why does art exist and not nothing?

BIO
Ekin Bozkurt (sound designer), Chiara Campara (filmmaker), Giulia Oglialoro (author, journalist), Riccardo Tabilio (author and dramaturg) and Francesco Venturi (composer) are the artists that the second open call of Casa degli Artisti on the theme “Work” Selected in March 2020 for the artistic project shared with the German collective Rimini Protokoll.
The work, coordinated and followed by Jörg Karrenbauer and Aljoscha Begrich of Rimini Protokoll in the role of mentors, was completely rethought during the months of lockdown. The theme of work remained central, but he decided to focus in particular on work in the world of culture and art, a theme made even more urgent by the crisis caused by the pandemic. It was decided to work precisely on contingency, considering it an opportunity, investigating the changing perception of spaces and cultural operators.
Rimini Protokoll was founded in 2000 by Stefan Kaegi, Helgard Haug and Daniel Wetzel and over the years has collaborated with various constellations of artists. The goal is to expand the means of the theater in order to create new perspectives on reality. Rimini Protokoll avails itself of the collaboration of experts, whose knowledge and skills go beyond the theater, to produce shows, radio productions and urban interventions that often translate urban spaces and social structures into theatrical formats.
In the 2020 Theatre Season REALITY of ZONA K the multi-award winning German collective Rimini Protokoll will bring the truck to Milan that in 2006 was transformed into an audience on wheels capable of transporting 50 spectators through the city: seated on one side, they will look through a large window the urban reality that will become a stage.
During the residency at Casa degli Artisti, which took place between May and September 2019, five selected artists developed a project for the truck around the theme of night work together with Rimini Protokoll.
The truck will transport spectators through the suburbs of the city and will focus the spotlights on what normally moves in the dark and in the invisible. Who works at night? How? Who pays? The submerged economy or the backbone and the backstage of the most brilliant day performances? What places host the jobs that begin when others stop and the jobs that have no beginning or an end?

Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi and Daniel Wetzel founded the theatre-label Rimini Protokoll in 2000 and have since worked in different constellations under this name. With their work they look for new perspectives on the reality.
Work by work they have expanded the means of the theatre to create a poetic and unique style, that revolutionised contemporary European theatre. Rimini Protokoll often develops their stage-works, scenic interventions, performative installations and audio plays together with experts who have gained their knowledge and skills beyond the theatre. Furthermore, they like to transpose rooms or social structures into theatrical formats. Many of their works feature interactivity and a playful use of technology.
Rimini Protokoll has been awarded with numerous important prizes, such as the Mülheimer Dramatikerpreis for “Karl Marx: Das Kapital, Erster Band”, the German theatre award Faust, the Grand Prix Theatre from the Swiss Federal Office for Culture, the European Theatre Award, the Silver Lion at the Theatre Biennale in Venice, and the German Audio Play Award and the War Blinded Audio Play Prize.
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.

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.
Quanta Europa c’è nei nostri ragazzi? Che idea di Europa abbiamo trasmesso? Pensano solo a confini geografi ci o immaginano palazzi di vetro pieni di politici?
Una grande mappa europea su un tavolo, un dispositivo elettronico e 15 partecipanti sono gli ingredienti per iniziare a giocare. Attraverso domande, giochi di ruolo, decisioni da prendere arriveremo a definire quanto ci sentiamo europei. Una performance/gioco che si svolge sempre in una casa diversa.
Gli elementi e le immagini raccolti durante le visite saranno condivisi, in forma anonima, on line sul sito www.homevisiteurope.org, andando così a implementare un archivio europeo in costante sviluppo.

In 1988, Gorbachev saw in the Great European House, founded on democratic values even before economic values, the idea and the direction to be followed for the construction of a great European continent.
Thirty years later, the great expectations seem to have imploded and the new ‘great sickness’ is increasingly the victim of populist attacks.
How many ‘exits’ await us? Is this then the result of democracy?
There are those who say that voting no longer leads to anything, that power now lies elsewhere, in the upper echelons of the economic powers. There are those who believe, instead, that it is still possible to make a difference. Demographic and sociological analyses show that the categories most at risk (the poor, the unemployed, the elderly) are the most distant from the ballot box, and that the spread of democracy is leading to an ever-widening economic gap in society.
So where does democracy lie? In complex bureaucratic institutions with no direct relationship with the citizens, but who nonetheless adorn themselves with the name of representatives of the people, or in the voice of new nationalist and revanchist barkers with no vision of the future?
“Tocqueville said: “To go forward, one must learn to look far. We want to try to look far ahead, with the disruptive force that only the artistic imagination can have. We want to seek affinities, accept changes, broaden our view by testing alternatives that are more or less possible in view of the future, not only the immediate future, but also the more distant future.

RIMINI PROTOKOLL, one of the most critically acclaimed European avant-garde collectives, is composed of the team of author-directors Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi, and Daniel Wetzel and is housed in Berlin. Their work in the realm of theater, sound and radio plays, film, installation, emerges in collectives of two or three and solo as well. At the focus of their work is the continuous development of the tools of theater to allow for unusual perspectives on our reality.
ZONA K presents:
REMOTE MILANO: a walking tour through the city guided by the digital voice of a personal navigator who speaks in Italian and English.
A soundtrack written for Milan, which transforms the urban journey into a collective film.
A game, an experience, a journey.
Milan as you have never seen it.
The 2014 edition took place from 22 October to 16 November, with 11 extraordinary performances.
The 2015 edition took place from 19 September to 25 October for a total of 36 replicas.
Around 2700 people attended Remote Milano by Rimini Protokoll.
ZONA K would like to thank all those who, by collaborating and participating, gave us this wonderful experience, RIMINI PROTOKOLL in the lead.
Jörg Karrenbauer – choreographer of REMOTE MILANO – talks to critics, academics, students and the public about the work of RIMINI-PROTOKOLL – a German collective that has become a fundamental point of reference for the European theatrical and artistic avant-garde – and analyses the experience that led to the creation of REMOTE MILANO, an all-European look at our city.
With Renato Palazzi and Maddalena Giovannelli.
The political role of theatre according to tradition and according to a post-modern vision; the relationship with reality, the expert-actors, the relationship between artistic intervention and authenticity; the relationship with power and new technologies, in reality and in artistic work; the relationship established with the city in the creation of Remote Milano: these are some of the themes addressed during the meeting-debate.
In collaboration with the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures, University of Milan
Address: University of Milan, via Festa del Perdono, 7 – AULA 422

After the success of FOCUS BALCANI, which took place in autumn 2013 also thanks to the contribution of Regione Lombardia, the new season opens with a focus on German artists.
Among the infinite number of possible proposals coming from a country as attentive to theatre and culture as Germany, ZONA K has chosen a small but significant selection of projects that are particularly innovative and effective in terms of attention to the present and analysis of the reality that surrounds us.
The main theme of the entire focus, as of the PLAY-K(ei) season, is the relationship between art and reality, in particular urban reality, and the ability of art to look at, describe and act on reality.

[cinema]
In collaboration with MilanoFilmFestival.
Focus Germany is part of Milano Cuore d’Europa, the multidisciplinary cultural programming 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.
After Berlin, Vienna, Avignon, St. Petersburg, RIMINI PROTOKOLL, one of the most awarded avant-garde collectives in Europe, finally arrives in Milan, as part of the PLAY-K season and the Focus Germania .
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.
