Who composes? Who plays? On what? For SWEAT Rimini Protokoll pose these questions in a humorous new way. Fitness machines - taken from the world of physical self-optimization - now become music machines on the concert stage, and training muscles now means making music. In the walk-in, interactive installation SWEAT MACHINES. An acoustic Playground, the audience can bring the machine orchestra to life and perhaps even get their own pulse racing. Multi-layered narratives unfold for the audience via headphones and text-based media: inspired by intensive research in Berlin and Luckenwalde (Brandenburg) and interwoven with the protein-rich history of fitness culture.

About Rimini Protokoll
Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi and Daniel Wetzel founded the theatre-label Rimini Protokoll in 2000 and have since worked in different constellations under this name. Work by work they have expanded the means of the theatre to create new perspectives on reality. Rimini Protokoll often develop their stage-works, interventions, performative installations and audio plays together with experts who have gained their knowledge and skills beyond the theatre. Many of their works feature interactivity and a playful use of technology. Since 2003, the production office of Rimini Protokoll is in Berlin.
