‘Gone, but still here’: how vanished flight MH370 is reflected in a father’s dementia. The Guardian

The interwoven stories are fascinating……this unusual combination of a concert and a written text with some gently subtle visuals is ultimately rewarding. British Theatre Guide

MH370, the Malaysia Airlines flight bound for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur, mysteriously vanished into thin air. "All right. Good night." is said to be the last communication from the cockpit to air traffic control. The production of the same name parallels the enigmatic disappearance of MH370 and the battle against dementia fought by the director’s father. The story explores the profound concept of vanishing and the relentless quest for answers and weaves a poignant narrative of loss and uncertainty and confronts the absence of human presence. In this captivating experience, the theater transforms into a realm where thoughts, memories, the stark theater apparatus, and hauntingly beautiful music interlace to provide solace in the face of inexplicable disappearances.

All right. Good night. has been invited as the Piece of the Year of Theatertreffen and received accolades such as Mülheimer Dramatikerpreis and more.

Rimini Protokoll

Rimini Protokoll was founded in 2000 by Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi, and Daniel Wetzel. The theater collective frequently collaborates with non-theater professionals and employs various forms like intervention, performance installations, and radio plays. They also emphasize interactivity and the use of technology in their work. Examples include 100% City and Situation Rooms, a multi-participant video-guided walking experience. Rimini Protokoll continues to expand the definition of theater, offering unique perspectives on contemporary society.
