by Rimini Protokoll When statistics are given faces.
How many of us are teachers, top earners, unemployed? How many have saved a life, held a gun, expect to die within a year? Join us at the 2014 Fringe Festival for an unforgettable experience that's part-theater, part-data analysis — and 100 percent Philadelphia. Developed in collaboration with FringeArts, German artist collective Rimini Protokoll's100% Philadelphia will bring 100 carefully selected Philadelphia citizens (non-actors) onstage to represent the city's population of 1.5 million and our unique demographic imprint: More than 40 cast members will be African-American, half will be women, approximately 20 will be children — and that's just the beginning. At times funny, uplifting and strikingly dramatic, 100% Philadelphia is always enlightening, a mirror of ourselves that will forever change the way we see our friends, neighbors, and strangers on the street.
