Stefan Kaegi
Stefan Kaegi stages documentary plays, radio plays, nomadic concepts and projects in urban or natural spaces in a wide variety of constellations, in which animals or even the audience itself often play a central role. Together with Helgard Haug and Daniel Wetzel, Stefan Kaegi works under the Rimini Protokoll label, which was awarded the Silver Lion for theatre at the Venice Biennale in 2011. Over the last ten years or so, Rimini Protokoll has staged the tetralogy State 1-4 on the phenomena of post-democracy, the simulation of a World Climate Conference at the Schauspielhaus in Hamburg, the installation of jellyfish (win<>win) for museums and the urban space walk Utopolis, created at the Manchester Festival and adapted for Lausanne in 2022. Stefan Kaegi has worked regularly with Caroline Barneaud over the last 15 years, notably on the shows Nachlass (2016), Société en Chantier (2019), Temple du présent, solo for octopus (2020), Utopolis Lausanne (2022) and Paysages partagés (2023). In 2024, he created Ceci n'est pas une ambassade.

Stefan Kaegi, Rimini Protokoll This is not an embassy (Made in Taiwan)
Rimini Protokoll's roving director Stefan Kaegi takes us, in the company of three native performers and residents, to the island of Taiwan. The fictional element of this show, in which the onstage action filmed live takes us through the twists and turns of a miniature décor, points to a somewhat grotesque geopolitical reality.
