It’s 1965 and everything is just about to happen. Pop, subculture, superstars, feminism, drugs, bright lights, and sex are about to rock the world like never before. 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 King of Pop himself, Andy Warhol. Gob Squad travels back in time in an attempt to remake Warhol’s Kitchen, acted out on bare-bones sets and viewed as a live black-and-white film. But as none of the performers have actually seen the original, they enlist audience members in a quest for the authentic. Shrewdly crafted and frequently hilarious, Gob Squad’s cinematic creation collides with the immediate here-and-now to surprising effect.
