What Is the Story of Gob Squad’s Kitchen?
Gob Squad’s Kitchen doesn’t have a story so much as a concept, which is no surprise given that the show is an on-stage, tongue-in-cheek homage to the films of Andy Warhol. Specifically, the group is recreating the famously story-less films Kitchen, Sleep, and the legendary Screen Tests. Over the course of the evening, the actors attempt to recreate these films live on stage. Well, kind of. A lot of time is spent talking about how they’re going to recreate the films and what things were like when Warhol was making his own films. The phrase “It is 1965” is used a lot. This version of Kitchen brings the boundary-testing spirit of The Factory to life on stage, filtered through the cheeky sensibility of devised theater group Gob Squad.
