Forced Entertainment | Great Britain
An explosion of audience expectations with a blackly comic collage of stories
Forced Entertainment always manages to reinvent both itself and the theatre. Their new work, The Coming Storm, will premiere in May 2012 and come to Braunschweig directly afterwards. In this piece international innovators Forced Entertainment tangle and cross-cut multiple stories to make a compelling and unstable performance. From love and death to sex and laundry, from shipwrecks to falling snow, personal anecdotes rub shoulders with imaginary movies, and halfremembered novels bump into distorted fairytales. Using a method as inventive as it is absurd, six performers create, collaborate, ambush and disrupt this epic saga that is resolutely too big for the stage. The result is comical, contradictory and poignant. Under the artistic direction of Tim Etchells The Coming Storm is Forced Entertainment at its best – trademark black humour, a collage of arresting images and an anarchic performance style.
