Reflections on a continent that becomes a stage: Home Visit Europe by Rimini Protokoll

The German collective Rimini Protokoll is made up of three authors-directors who have been working as a team since 2000 - although they can choose to work alone, in two or three — and have signed their creations together since 2002: Helgard Kim Haug, Daniel Wetzel and Stefan Kaegi. Their productions — which draw on real life, using elements and people from concrete situations and identifiable places — range from documentary theater to radio drama, to urban performance, with different variations of collaborations and partnerships. The article therefore takes into consideration a case of study now historicized in Germany and internationally and that even in the Italian context has attracted the attention of critics — not just theatrical — in an attempt to insert it into a broader European phenomenological and historiographic perspective, starting from the analysis of a specific project like Hausbesuch Europa, 'adapted' in Home visit Europe.
