Gob Squad's Super Night Shot

In their new performance work Super Night Shot, UK/German collective Gob Squad declares a “War on Anonymity.”  An hour before the audience arrives, the artists take to the streets armed with synchronized video cameras. The result is an uncut, unedited series of comic and surreal adventures that celebrate unexpected meetings with strangers.

US TOUR: 1927

Acclaimed London theater company 1927 hits the road this summer with the US premiere tour of The Animals and the Children Took to the Streets.  

Amidst a dystopian metropolis squirming with cockroaches and unrest, characters must navigate a maze of government oppression and urban paranoia.  Combining live music, a darkly humorous narrative, and captivating interaction between animation and live actors, 1927’s newest show is a graphic novel sprung to life.
