"Wildly entrancing, and in that way theatre at its best. One of the most puzzling, affecting performances I have attended." -Politiken, Kopenhagen
Rimini Protokoll broadens the definition of theater with Call Cutta In A Box. It offers every member of the audience an exclusive performance – unique and unrepeatable. You enter an unknown office and the phone rings. You pick up, and the person on the phone is a call center agent in Calcutta, India. Folders on your computer mysteriously open by themselves, a table moves, and a story unfolds in which Sagnik and his colleagues, but above all you and your city are the actors, the audience, the setting, and the performance.
Running Time: 50 minutes
Wednesday, January 7 – Sunday, January 18: 11am-4pm hourly.
Additional performances through Friday, February 27, Monday to Saturday (except Monday, February 16): 11am-4pm hourly.
A production of Rimini Apparat, co produced by Schauspielhaus Zürich, Baltic Circle Helsinki and Helsinki Festival, Camp X Kopenhagen, HAU Berlin, KunstenFestivaldesArts Brüssel, Nationaltheater Mannheim and 104 Paris. Supported by the European Cultural Foundation. In cooperation with the call centre Descon Limited in Calcutta.
