Düsseldorf Schauspielhaus, Düsseldorf, Germany
Helgard Haug / Daniel Wetzel
Karl Marx: DAS KAPITAL, erster band
Directed by Helgard Haug/Daniel Wetzel (Rimini-Protokoll)
24.09. 20:00, 25.09. 20:00
Yugoslav Drama Theatre (main stage “Ljuba Tadić”)
Duration : 120 min.

Rimini Protokoll is famous for its performances which feature neither actors nor amateurs but the people who deal with the topic the theatre explores. In this performance, they are called “specialists”. They are scholars of the German studies, of the Roman and the Slavonic studies, historians, journalists, electricians, electronics and shop assistants, all of whom have inclination towards politics. They have their own ways of dealing with Marx’s capital in the moment when even the economists turn to Marx in an attempt to save liberal capitalism. This performance is the closest to the topic of this year’s Bitef.
