Stefan Kaegi – Rimini Protokoll

Radio Muezzin


A member of the Berlin-based directorial group, Rimini Protokoll, Stefan Kaegi proposes a new form of documentary theatre rooted in the researching of social and political conditions. Kaegi’s use of non-professional actors heightens his anti-psychological approach and breaks down the barriers between reality and fiction. In Radio Muezzin, four muezzins from Cairo recreate their everyday life on stage just months before they are replaced by a single muezzin whose call to prayer will be relayed live to the 30,000 state mosques in the Egyptian capital.
