No SPIELART festival without Forced Entertainment! In their latest production, the group dares to take a look at the future. Is there a global government, or will feudal states return? Should wars only take place in predetermined areas and be broadcast live on television? Will we decide anew every day what genitalia we would like to wear that day? And what about death? Or will everything in the end remain the way it is?
Two performers develop ideas but also clichés of hope. Their contradictory visions range from pure fantasy to politically ominous (horror) scenarios and alternative ways of life open to serious discussions, to the sobering consideration of whether subsequent generations will only shrug their shoulders when hearing about our era. In typical Forced Entertainment fashion, it's an inspiring, contemplative, and also extraordinarily humorous evening.

+BiographySince forming the company in 1984, the six core members of the group have sustained a unique artistic partnership for quarter of a century, confirming their position as trailblazers in contemporary theatre. The company’s substantial canon of work reflects an interest in the mechanics of performance, the role of the audience and the machinations of contemporary urban life. The work is distinctive and provocative, delighting in disrupting the conventions of theatre and the expectations of audiences. Forced Entertainmen’s trademark collaborative process – devising work as a group through improvisation, experimentation and debate – has made them pioneers of British avant-garde theatre and earned them an international reputation.
