Petersburgers are invited to participate in the performance

Each Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday from July 19 to September 14, residents of St. Petersburg will be able to take part in the Permote Petersburg play, prepared by the BDT named after G.A. Tovstonogov, together with the German theater company Rimini Protokoll.

This is the first Russian project of the theater company Rimini Protokoll and the tenth performance of the Remote X series, in which Berlin, Vienna, Avignon, Zurich, Lisbon, Bangalor and San Paulo have already participated.

One of the leaders of the European Documentary Theater, the company Rimini Protokoll is a regular participant in the Avignon and other large European festivals, the holder of the Silver Leo of the Venetian Biennale in the nomination for innovation.

"Remote Petersburg" in translation sounds like "Petersburg. A view from the side." - It is said in the performance of the performance on the BDT website . - In each new city, the Rimini Protokoll team is working on creating an original urban environmental route. The St. Petersburg journey starts from the Alexander Nevsky Lavra, and ends at the BDT building. G.A. Tovstonogovo on Nab. The Fontanka River, 65. The journey resembles an exciting computer game: following the voice, the participant in the walk falls into a “parallel reality”, becomes her character and gets the opportunity to watch the life of the city and himself with a different, unexpected point of view. ”

“You are not just watching, but really live what is happening. Rimini Protokoll seems to be programming you, those genuine states and feelings that you yourself could never cause are pulled out of you. - commented by the artistic director of the BDT Andrei Molchy. - Despite the fact that you are openly manipulated. They are straightforwardly included in the game, they say the rules of the game, but you, despite, perhaps, irony and some resistance at the beginning of the journey, you still join this game. You can't help but turn it on. Your knowledge-awareness-subconscious-life-biography-building world is so involved in this game that you connect all and just go behind the voice in the magic field. And even when the performance ended, you continue to live in this magic for some time. ”
