Details

Gob Squad is a group of UK and German artists, based in Nottingham and Berlin. Working collectively since 1994, the group makes and presents its work in urban sites such as offices, houses, shops, railway stations and hotels as well as in galleries and theatres. Using the language of film, TV and pop music to explore the complexities and absurdities of life today, Gob Squad's work is a search for beauty, meaning and humanity amongst the glittering facades and dark corners of contemporary culture. Sometimes improvised, sometimes strictly choreographed, the work is always provocative, entertaining and emotionally charged. Are you With Us? is an improvised performance where Gob Squad ask each other all the questions they are afraid to ask in private, in public. It is part group therapy, part performance nightmare. By turns brutally funny and painfully honest, it is a high stakes game on the verge of a breakdown. Stuck in an endless photo-shoot-cum-therapy-session, the performers change their look from flight attendants to terrorists and more, searching for a group identity where everyone has found their place. Are you With Us? is a performance for anyone who has buried what they really want to say to their colleagues, family or team-mates. Anything can go wrong. Everything is at stake. So, are you with us?
