US Tour: Gob Squad

Gob Squad launches its 2012 US tour with Super Night Shot, in which 4 performers declare a “War on Anonymity.”  An hour before the audience arrives, the artists take to New York City streets armed with synchronized video cameras. The result is an uncut, unedited series of comic and surreal adventures that celebrate unexpected meetings with strangers.

The tour continues with Kitchen, returning to the US after its hit run at 2011 Under the Radar Festival. Travel with Gob Squad back to the underground cinemas of New York City in 1965 as they reconstruct Andy Warhol films. Their quest to illuminate the past for a new generation results in a meditation on the nature of authenticity and originality, the here and now, and the hidden depths beneath the shiny veneer of modern life.

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.
