It’s lights, camera and action for Gob Squad’s Kitchen (You’ve Never Had It So Good), which begins performances at the Public Theater on January 19. Devised and performed by the German and British artists collective Gob Squad, the film-centric show will officially open on January 23.
It's 1965 and everything is just about to happen. In a film made live on stage with bad coffee, nervous breakdowns, wild parties and modern hairstyles, Gob Squad invites you to take the hand of the King of Pop Art himself, Andy Warhol, for a trip back to the underground cinemas of New York City. The group reconstructs Warhol's films in the quest to illuminate the past for a new generation, reflect on the nature of authenticity, the here and now and the hidden depths beneath the shiny surfaces of modern life.
Gob Squad’s Kitchen will end its limited engagement on February 5.
