Stefan Kaegi
Stefan Kaegi is based in the swiss mountains as well as in Berlin, produces documentary theatre plays and works in public space in a diverse variety of collaborative partnerships. Kaegi has toured across Europe and Asia with two Bulgarian lorry drivers and a truck which was converted into a mobile audience room (»Cargo Sofia-X«). He has adapted »Remote X«, an audio tour for 50 headphones to dozens of cities from Taipei to Santiago de Chile, and toured the interactive installation »Nachlass« that portrays people who have not left much time to live. Recent works also include »Uncanny Valley«, a monologue for a humanoid robot, and »Temple du présent.«, a solo for a live octopus on stage. With Caroline Barneaud he curates »Shared Landscapes«, a day in nature with performative Land-Art since 2023.
Stefan Kaegi coproduces works with Helgard Haug and Daniel Wetzel, under the label »Rimini Protokoll«. Using research, public auditions and conceptual processes, they give voice to ‘experts’ who are not necessarily trained actors. Recent works include the multi-player-video-piece »Situation Rooms«, »100% Hongkong« with 100 local citizens on stage and the »World Climate Conference«, a simulation of the UN-conference for 650 spectators in Schauspielhaus Hamburg. Their »Utopolis« for 48 portable loudspeakers opened at the Manchester International Festival. Their »Conference of the Absent« is touring on stages in dozens of languages. More and more they also create works for museums: The Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB) recently showed their eco-installation »win<>win« as well as their immersive walkable movie »Urban Nature«.
