Tim Etchells & Tony Buck: Go On Like This - T1379115657

Go On Like This is a performance encounter between artist and writer Tim Etchells (Forced Entertainment) and the legendary percussionist Tony Buck, founder-member of Australian trio The Necks. The two artists share strong fascinations with the possibilities of both free improvisation and intensive repetition - Buck in the realm of mutating percussive elements and Etchells in the realm of looping language fragments. Celebrating 40 years of Forced Entertainment's experimental theatre, Go On Like This brings the performers together for an evening of loops and cacophonies, blurring the lines between language as sense and language as pure sound, creating something on the border zone between their two practices.

Signal to Noise - T31554922

In Forced Entertainment's new work, six performers navigate a world of constraints, traps, behavioural habits and repeating cycles. The performance features language and music in loops, presenting physical action as a desperate mode of escape from repetition and boundaries. Celebrating 40 years of the company's experiments and reinventions of theatre language, the show draws audiences into a compelling encounter with the artists, and raises questions about cycles that trap us all. Signal to Noise is an invitation to reflect on our shared contemporary experience, developed through the group's rigorous and intuitive collaborative process.
