The text proposes an analysis of the theatre of Rimini Protokoll by analysing certain performances, in particular 100% Karsruhe, which refer to political issues concerning participation and citizenship, representation and representativeness. Rimini Protokoll practise a postdramatic realism that has left behind the paradigm of representation and is marked by a particular dialectic of spectacularisation. It is a theatre that is realist because it exhibits the theatricality of existence, its ‘spectacularity’, but does not conceive the spectacle as a separation from real life, but rather as something that allows individuals to establish relationships with themselves and others. We are invited to conceive theatre not just as a medium through which life is articulated and interacts with itself, but also as a medium that allows us to establish contact with a real that resists theatricalisation, the articulation of life in terms of spectacle and staging.

Abstract

The text proposes an analysis of the theatre of Rimini Protokoll by analysing certain performances, in particular 100% Karsruhe, which refer to political issues concerning participation and citizenship, representation and representativeness. Rimini Protokoll practise a postdramatic realism that has left behind the paradigm of representation and is marked by a particular dialectic of spectacularisation. It is a theatre that is realist because it exhibits the theatricality of existence, its ‘spectacularity’, but does not conceive the spectacle as a separation from real life, but rather as something that allows individuals to establish relationships with themselves and others. We are invited to conceive theatre not just as a medium through which life is articulated and interacts with itself, but also as a medium that allows us to establish contact with a real that resists theatricalisation, the articulation of life in terms of spectacle and staging.
