Biography
Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi and Daniel Wetzel founded the theatre group Rimini Protokoll in 2000 and have been working as a team of author-directors since. The focal point of their work is the use of theatrical tools to develop unusual perspectives on reality. The performers in their works are non-actors, but rather experts who have gained their knowledge and skills beyond theatre and who contribute to the development of Rimini Protokoll’s stage works, interventions, performative installations and audio plays. Many of their works feature interactivity and a playful use of technology. They are the recipients of many awards, including the Faust Theatre Prize (2007), European Prize for New Theatre Forms (2008), Silver Lion at the 41st Biennale for Performing Arts in Venice (2011) and Excellence Award at the 17th Japan Media Arts Festival (2013).
