Call Cutta in a Box

Overview

Rimini Protokoll are recognised as being among the leaders and creators of the theatre movement known as 'Reality Trend' (Theater der Zeit), which has exerted a powerful influence on the alternative theatre scene. Call Cutta in a Box is an intercontinental telephone play that begins with the viewer answering a ringing phone.

The voice at the end of the line is a call centre agent from Calcutta. After a while he draws your attention to some people in the building opposite to where you are standing. On the notebook desktop in your room images and videos are opening up out of nowhere and you realize that your city, the call centre agent and you have become the first protagonists of the plot.
