Home Visit Europe, Copyright Brett Bollier

What is Europe? Is it a geographic border, a cultural identity, a coalition of states? 15 people sit down together at a table. What starts out feeling like some sort of political gathering soon takes on another character: maps are spread out, the noise level goes up, challenges emerge, and together, decisions are made.

Rimini Protokoll transports this abstract European idea into a private living room where the group plays a game in a conversational atmosphere. Home Visit Europe is a participatory performance you can put in your hand luggage – such big ideas are seldom presented so intimately. You can join in the game in your own living room, or someone else’s, interweaving personal stories with the political mechanisms of Europe. 

Home Visit Europe has already been performed throughout Europe, from Lisbon to Moscow and from Bergen to Ancona, and is now coming to the Ruhr Region for the first time. Each evening event takes place in someone else’s living room. You will be sent the exact address at least one week before the event. Everyone can join in, no previous knowledge required.

Rimini Protokoll are Helgard Kim Haug, Stefan Kaegi and Daniel Wetzel, who have been working together as authors and directors since 2000.  Their work in the field of theatre, radio-plays, film and installations is produced in teams of two or three or as solo productions. The focus of their work is on continuing to develop the medium of theatre to enable unusual perspectives of our reality. Among their many prizes they have also been presented with several awards at the STÜCKEN. Their recent performance of Truck Tracks Ruhr (2016) gave us new insights into the Ruhr Region.
