Rimini Protokoll (Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi, Daniel Wetzel) – Home Visit Europe
at private appartments
Home Visit Europe is a performance you can put in your hand luggage - big ideas are rarely presented so intimately. What is Europe actually? Is it a geographic border, a cultural identity, a coalition of states? It is said over and over that Europe is an ever changing idea - too theoretical, as the individual can tell from their own experience. Rimini Protokoll contrasts this abstract idea of Europe with the individuality of a private apartment. Fifteen people become part of a joint play in a living room that interweaves personal stories and the political mechanisms of Europe. How much Europe is in us all?
