Writer. Librettist. Composer.

For the summer of 2024, Rinde is embarking on a global tour of performances and workshops—highlights will include Japan, India, and Greece. Be sure to subscribe to his Instagram and newsletter to stay in the know with pictures and stories about Rinde’s travels.
With a virtuosic command of gesture, language and song, this total theatre artist moves beyond the boundaries of what a 'play,' a 'dance piece,' an 'opera' or 'musical' might be, in the service of grappling with complex issues.
Eckert describes many of his characters as "little men with big ideas whose consequences of their hubris are often disastrous."
Sometimes tragic and austere, sometimes broadly comedic, entirely grounded by presence, his work is alchemical: moving from rumination and distillation to hard-won illumination, or its lack.
