On decontextualised performers - Sunday 13th @ 18.30

On decontextualised performers and remote-controlled audiences by Stefan Kaegi of Rimini Protokoll with a musical rendering by Ron Schneider

All the world's a stage and Stefan Kaegi takes all the men and women and transforms them into players - in a singular dramatisation of the urban environment. The Indo-German Jamboree, which marks the end of the Year of Germany and India 2011-2012: Infinite Opportunities kicks off with a Lecture by celebrated German producer Stefan Kaegi of Rimini Protokoll.

Germany's most innovative and celebrated young theatre director is in India with Parallel Cities, which happened in December in Kolkata and is currently part of the NSD Bharat Rang Mahotsav in Delhi. We were able to lure Kaegi away from Delhi for a day, so that he could present his unique concept to a privileged audience in Bangalore.

The event will be enhanced by an electronic intervention with Ron Schneider, currently the Goethe Artist-in-Residence at Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology. Ron Schneider (aka "dRONe", "Raumagent Alpha", member of the realtime-band "Transistors Of Mercy") will be improvising a musical rendering using modified analog synthesizers and self-built sound devices.
