All right. Good night.

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. Work by work they have expanded the means of the theatre to create new perspectives on reality.

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.

Barbara Morgenstern is an electronic musician, composer, producer and choir director. In 1998, she began a series of releases on Berlin label Monika Enterprise, and her most recent album came out in 2018 via Staatsakt. Since 2007, she has been directing the Chor der Kulturen der Welt at Berlin’s HKW (House of World Cultures), for which she also composes, arranges and selects the program. She has been working with Rimini Protokoll consistently since 2012.

Zafraan Ensemble represent music that reflects today’s life, today’s society, today’s reality in all possible facets. Through interaction with other art forms, Zafraan observes, explores and processes all that surrounds us: people, events, nature and technology, with all the accompanying normalities and absurdities. Formed in Berlin in 2009 and consisting of ten permanent members from Spain, France, New Zealand, Australia and Germany, the group performs a mostly contemporary repertoire with violin, viola, cello, bass, flute, clarinet, saxophone, harp, piano and percussion.
