Daniel WetzelRimini Protokoll
Director
Born in Konstanz, Germany, in 1969, and lives in Berlin and Athens, Greece. From 1990-2000 he studied Applied Theatre Science / Performance Studies at University of Giessen (Institut für Angewandte Theaterwissenschaft). Since 1997 most of his works deal with actors and specialists of non-art theatre disciplines, such as pilots, kids, pensioners, engineers, street cleaners, and so on. He received the Mülheimer Dramatiker Prize in 2007 with his collaborators for "Karl Marx: Capital, Volume One", which was presented later in Tokyo in 2009. He is currently working on a doctoral thesis on the act of taking pictures as a performative.
