Los Angeles premiere!
DEVISED AND PERFORMED BY GOB SQUAD
The
acclaimed multimedia collective of ingenious artists from the U.K. and
Germany playfully deploys an inventive arsenal of live video and
performance techniques to celebrate the culture-bending heyday of Andy
Warhol’s Factory. Live recreations of scenes from the 1965 Edie Sedgwick
vehicle Kitchen—acted out on bare-bones sets and viewed as
black-and-white projections—are spliced with other Warhol celluloid
adventures to evoke an elusive, mythic time and place—its hedonistic
experimentalism, its wave of social change. Shrewdly crafted and
frequently hilarious, Gob Squad’s live versions of the films collide
with the immediate here-and-now to surprising effect, transporting the
audience to an explosively creative era and unearthing the depths
beneath the shiny surface of modern life.
