Gob Squad

“If tomorrow I find somebody who is pretty much like me and I put her here to sing, she can be Nico while I go and do something else.” – Nico Gob Squad embarks on a journey through time, back to the art and underground scene of New York of the sixties.

Each night they set themselves the task of reconstructing “Kitchen,” “Sleep,” “Screen Test,” and other Warhol films. How can they get it just right? How do they know if they’re going wrong? How did people dance in 1965? What did they talk about? Had feminism happened? Or was it yet to begin?

Gob Squad’s Kitchen becomes a journey back in time and back to the future again. A quest for the original, the authentic, the here and now, the real me, the real you and the hidden depths beneath the shiny surfaces of modern life. What emerges is a live film performance on a quest for the here and now, the original and not the copy.

After almost 200 performances across the world, “Gob Squad’s Kitchen” is one of the company’s most successful productions. After a two-and-a-half-year break this successful production comes back to HAU.

approx. 100 mins.
