Gob Squad

Dancing About

  • Dance
  • Theatre
German /  English /  approx. 120 mins.

Who are you? What do you believe in? And in an increasingly polarised world, whose side are you on? In their first dance piece in 30 years of performing together, Gob Squad have invented a new form of dance floor, part nightclub, part ritual worship, part expressive dance therapy. Each night anew, a bizarre play on the paradox of the cult of the individual and our need for community emerges. The popular production from 2012 and can now be experienced again at HAU.
