The group of directors, Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi and Daniel Wetzel who form one of the most distinctive colours on the German theatre scene with their famed Rimini Protokoll have created a new kind of documentarist theatre based not on literary texts but on the theatricalised mirror image of reality, its “on stage” copy. Both actors and non-actors take part in their productions. In one of their productions that caused the greatest stir two hundred amateurs played a session of the Bonn parliament, repeating words pronounced in the original; for another première they hired an eighty-year-old woman from a home for the aged, contrasting her living conditions with those of Formula One racing drivers. In their latest production Blaiberg und sweetheart19, given its first performance in March this year, they overlay the world of internet dating services and heart transplants, creating their own, idiosyncratic interpretation of “from one heart to another”.
