Rimini Protokoll (Haug/Kaegi/Wetzel)

Situation Rooms

Part of "JETZT FEIERN – 20 Years of Rimini Protokoll"

InstallationTheatre

German / English / 80 min.

May 2011, a photo flashes onto screens around the world. It shows 13 people in a room. The expressions on their faces speak volumes: triumph, fascination, scorn, horror, scepticism, preoccupation. The photo from the White House “Situation Room” documents the end of a manhunt that was pursued with all possible weapons.
Situation Rooms gathers together from various continents 20 people whose biographies have been shaped by weapons in a film set that recreates the globalised world of pistols and rocket-propelled grenades, of assault rifles and drones, of rulers and refugees, becoming a parcours of unexpected neighbourhoods and intersections.

With the personal narratives of the ‘inhabitants’, the images start to move and the audience follows the individual trails of the cameras they have been given. They start to inhabit the building, while following what they see and hear on their equipment. The audience does not sit opposite the piece to watch and judge it from the outside; instead, the spectators ensnare themselves in a network of incidents, slipping into the perspectives of the protagonists, whose traces are followed by other spectators.

One spectator sits at the desk of a manager for defence systems. At the same time, another follows the film of a Pakistani lawyer representing victims of American drone attacks in a cramped room with surveillance monitors. On her way there, she sees a third spectator who follows his film into the shooting range of a Berlin gun club, listening Germany's parcours shooting champion. Around the corner stands another spectator in the role of a doctor carrying out amputations in Sierra Leone, while in the room next door a press photographer sorts pictures of German army missions in Afghanistan, only to stand in the shooting range himself a little later to do exactly what he was able to observe in passing just a while ago, thereby becoming a subject for observation himself.

The audience gradually becomes entangled in the film set’s spatial and material labyrinth; each individual becoming part of the re-enactment of a complicatedly elaborated multi-perspective “shooting”.

Situation Rooms is a multiple simultaneous cinema; augmented reality as three-dimensional as only theatre can be!

As part of "JETZT FEIERN – 20 Years of Rimini Protokoll" there will be additional installations on display at HAU2 that provide an insight into the multimedia creative work of the group. The VR installation “Feast of Food” about farm life in the age of global food production, screenings of films about the Indian-German project “Call Cutta” and “Weltklimakonferenz” as well as radio drama stations where the audience can listen through the entire radio drama oeuvre of Rimini Protokoll.
