Helgard Haug and Daniel Wetzel: Breaking News
A documentary stage play
The theatre of Rimini Protokoll opens up a sensuous side entrance to the global pool of images disseminated by agencies and TV stations. Does the event as such remain at all, or does it disappear behind the interweaving textures of different reports? In Breaking News, the experts involved in the project become themselves extraordinary missing links in the global news chain: they translate, filter, exchange video messages, comment and, as correspondents of the various stations, contribute the channels’ perspective to this staged conference circuit of the world’s theatres of politics.
Since 2000, the group Rimini Protokoll has been developing a form of theatre that showcases different themes without actors but with “specialists of everyday life”. In German.
