Cargo Congo-Lausanne

Stefan Kaegi / Rimini Protokoll

Cargo Congo-Lausanne

A documentary truck ride by Rimini Protokoll (Kaegi/Karrenbauer)

Stefan Kaegi has transformed a truck into a theatre – the seating installed in the trailer takes 50 spectators on a journey to the places of transit and trade at the city’s edges.

Rimini Protokoll has transformed a truck into a theatre – the seating installed in the trailer takes 50 spectators on a journey to the places of transit and trade at the city’s edges. Two different drivers tell their two very different stories. One of them grew up as a soldier between Rwanda and Congo before becoming a dairy driver in the narrow streets of Switzerland. Whereas the other one started driving trucks in Switzerland before finishing school in the sixties. Since then, he has owned more thant fifty trucks and now, approaching the end of his career, he keeps on wondering why the job doesn't pay off anymore. Every night, they will embark on a two-hour journey towards Africa with an audience seated in the back of their truck.

The truck is converted in such a way that fifty people can look through a 10 meter wide window to see the landscape passing by. Where goods used to be stacked in the past is where the audience now sits to look at their city from a different perspective. Thus the truck serves as an observatory, a mobile binocular or a microsope to contemplate the familiar streets. The audience is transported during two hours along gas stations, industrial loading ramps and other hotspots of globalisation which are live-synced with a score composed for the landscape outside the window. On the road, wireless microphones will transmit the drivers' biographies live inside the truck. Cargo Congo-Lausanne is a site-specific performance along the suburbs of West Lausanne that feels like a road movie through the flipside of a globalised economy..

Stefan Kaegi / Rimini Protokoll

Director

Stefan Kaegi / Rimini Protokoll

Né à Soleure, Stefan Kaegi suit une formation d’art à Zurich puis d’études théâtrales appliquées à Giessen en Allemagne. Il conçoit des pièces de théâtre documentaire, des pièces radiophoniques et des mises en scène dans l’espace urbain. Il fonde le collectif Rimini Protokoll en 2000 avec Helgard Haug et Daniel Wetzel. Ensemble, ils élargissent la notion de théâtre documentaire en tentant de dépeindre la réalité sous toutes ses facettes, faisant appel à ceux qu’ils désignent comme les "experts du quotidien". Passionnés par les technologies de notre quotidien comme par la puissance de la voix et de l’image, les membres de Rimini Protokoll font sortir le théâtre de ses murs, allant à la rencontre de l’espace urbain comme des nouveaux espaces et réseaux de la mondialisation. En 2015, Stefan Kaegi a reçu le Grand Prix suisse de théâtre/ Anneau Hans Reinhart. À Vidy, il présente Mnemopark (2007) et Situation Rooms (2014), et crée Airport Kids avec Lola Arias (2008) ainsi que Nachlass - Pièces sans personnes (2016) avec Dominik Huber.
