PQ Talks: The Performative Screen III: Rimini Protokoll

The third and final Theory Talk on 'Bearing Witness & Screening Resistance' by Rimini Protokoll's Stefan Kaegi, presenting the team's interdisciplinary installations and events, which develop tools to allow for unusual perspectives on our reality.

On decontextualized performers and remote controlled audiences: how to stage living ready-mades and transplant experts onto stages as well as into the grey zone between reality and fiction, using documentary material and theatrical interventions.

As a team of three, Berlin-based Rimini Protokoll bring together an ever-changing “theatre of experts" to operate in “that grey zone between actuality and fiction". Stefan Kaegi shares the team's interdisciplinary installations and events that develop tools to allow for unusual perspectives on our daily global existence.

Kaegi will show and discuss short videos on recent productions of the German theatre ensemble working with Kazakh oil-drillers, 50 remote-controlled spectators and 100 statistically chosen Berliners, as well as indian call-centre operators and international weapon dealers.

PQ Talks: The Performative Screen III: Rimini Protokoll, Wednesday, 24th June, 4 - 5.30 p. m., The Colloredo-Mansfeld Palace
