Three different episodes of Gob Squad’s Show Me A Good Time will be streamed from the empty HAU1 this time—three tickets for all those who don’t want to miss anything online on HAU4!
All we have left is now. The past has passed and the future looks more uncertain than ever. Back in June, in the middle of Berlin’s cultural lockdown, when all the theatres were closed, Gob Squad presented Show Me A Good Time as an ambitious 12 hour livestream. From the empty stage of HAU1, a single performer reached out to audiences across the world, whilst others explored the streets of Berlin and Sheffield, or shared intimate secrets from their homes.
Now, for the second cultural lockdown in November, it seems the perfect moment to show Show Me A Good Time again as a live stream on HAU4, this time transformed into a series of three hour episodes. As time-travelling researchers, Gob Squad once again try to uncover the layers of a reality that has become alien to us, in order to find out how we can carry on. Join them online on their journey through time!
For over 25 years, Gob Squad have been blurring the boundaries of art, theatre and real life. Sometimes they perform on the streets or in other public non-theatre locations. Sometimes they use cameras to bring the urban jungle, with all its danger, beauty and messiness, into the comfort of a theatre. Often they do both simultaneously.
Production: Gob Squad. World premiere co-commissioned and co-produced by: HAU Hebbel am Ufer (Berlin), La Jolla Playhouse Without Walls Series (San Diego). Co-production: Mousonturm (Frankfurt), Schlachthaus Theater Bern, Internationales Sommerfestival Kampnagel (Hamburg). Supported by: Fonds Darstellende Künste with funds from the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media. Gob Squad is funded by: Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe.
