Alles muss raus!

“Gob Squad are one of the most experienced theatre groups in Europe.” Der Standard

In Western Society Gob Squad zoom the camera directly into the heart of western civilisation. In the vastness of the internet, they discovered an unspectacular home video of a family celebration somewhere on the margins of the western world. An image that seems to contain everything we have achieved. Gob Squad bring this brief moment of conserved reality back to life with all their strength, seek answers, dissect the image into its individual pieces and overwrite it with their own stories and new interpretations. Western Society is a nightmare and a social utopia – too genuine, too fake, too familiar and too bizarre. A social portrait of the 21st century and an eternal party that has to be kept going. www.gobsquad.com

After show and festival opening party on 18 June with Sissyboy & Vina Yun (CLUB FIORUCCI)!
