Everything Must Go

Forced Entertainment

Late night in a bar that doesn’t really exist, dreams, tears, drinks and words are overflowing. Forced Entertainment create a shimmering, physical-visual portrait of our present: the economy on the brink of collapse, cities in ruins, broken hearts, missed opportunities – something went wrong out there.With “Everything Must Go,” the pioneers of British experimental theatre follow up on their work “Signal to Noise,” which was also co-produced by and performed at HAU two years ago – and at the same time conclude the final part of their loose trilogy, which works with AI voices and lip sync. Tim Etchells and the group transform everyday speech into a subversive, Dadaist poetics that is both funny and angry: disembodied, algorithmic articulations meet lively, sweating bodies until language turns into movement and figures and stories flash out of the babble of voices. As a result, people are talking in circles and the circles always, without question, come back to the same place. Here.
