A new way to experience Bucharest with German theater group’s audio walks app

A project of German theater label Rimini Protokoll that has just received a Romanian version invites the audience to a series of audio- guided walks where the stroll turns into a theatrical scenario and the surroundings into a stage. All the while reconsidering what a theater play can be, and offering an alternative at a time when most performance venues have seen their program impacted by the pandemic.

The Walks, a collection of audio walks by theater label Rimini Protokoll available in an app, is scheduled to launch in a Romanian version starting October 1. The project is done in a coproduction with creart/Teatrelli and a partnership with Goethe Institut Bucharest. Each walk proposes a short audio experience, of about 20 minutes, allowing the audience to do the walks whenever they want, how many times they want, and in the order of their choice. The Romanian version will be available to the public in the country or outside of it.
