Conference of the Absent
There is a crisis! And in times of global crisis, it's all about global cooperation. Nevertheless, this time the crisis is being dealt with locally - on behalf of the world: at a conference that no one needs to book a flight or mount a train for. A performance to which the invited experts and speakers do not appear physically, but are represented by local people who only receive their script at the beginning of their presentation. In Conference of the Absent, the audience observes people from their own city as they take on the identity of an absent conference speaker.
For Goethe-Institut/ Performing Architecture, Rimini Protokoll is developing a special edition in cooperation with the German Pavilion, which will feature in the empty German pavilion as a guest from 2038.
