The RRS is a label (adhesive label), a campaign (campaign) and an open network of different people and interests. Originally initiated by Hannah Hurtzig, Jürgen Kuttner and Bert Neumann, the team forms itself anew every year. The Neumann containers’ fleet of wagons creates a temporary production site in which theorists, showmen and theater people research the topography of the urban landscape and test urbanistic interventions. The activities of the RRS simulate informal everyday practices and assert an irregular, unordered urban life. And they represent the provisional reappropriation of past claims to happiness of a political theater.
In the summer month from 2000 and 2003 the containers started from Rosa Luxemburg Platz and moved to different district inn Berlin, preferably to the rough and unspoilt areas. Art-hostile infantile scenery magic!
Details
First delivery of the RRS: Night terrors and reconnaissance.
Anti-artistic infantile scenery magic! Presentation of large contents in small form! No entertainment! The last market criers of the Enlightenment brought the true stories of the Narva combine and the world cartels of the electrical industry as bloody petty bourgeois theater to the Expo in Hannover.
Second delivery: Out of the Mitte theme park – into the pampas!
Sent a train of illusionists, polemics, puppeteers and the “Friends of Geography” to Marzahn and Lichtenberg, to the Märkisches Viertel and to Neukölln.
Third delivery: Take a sleeper with you!
The RRS is working on the statistical and emotional expansion of its methods of observation and the psycho-geographic recording of an urban district. the research area is located in a border area and is bordered by the S-Bahn (north), Buschkrugallee (east), Teltow-Kanal (south), Britzerdamm (west). For two decades, citizen protests against the construction of the freeway have protected this area against shield driving and investment. Four containers and the western salon of “Woman Under Influence” stand on a remaining area in the Rungiusstrasse next to the freeway ventilation building. For a week, observers, chroniclers, and actors will research and collect materials on site, reinventing, intensifying, condensing, and embellishing everyday urban practices.
