We welcome 2020 with Western Society, a homely odyssey, where the whole world fits into a living room. This is an unmissable opportunity for the TNSJ audience to meet Gob Squad, an artists’ collective that was founded in the 1990s in Nottingham, England, and currently operates in Berlin, Germany. They inhabit a territory where banality coexists with utopia, where one’s physical presence is amplified by digital technologies, which they have optimised in order to bring the real world of everyday life into the artificial world of the theatre. Here and now, they present a stage reconstruction of the taping of a family reunion’s home video. This device, in which the viewers are invited to participate, reveals the most luminous and salacious corners of contemporary culture. Yes: loneliness, consumerism, the search for alienated forms of intimacy, the enticement of pop songs, the obscenity of “reality shows”, the Internet as heaven and hell. Western Society is a dysphoric series of windows that open and close, from the theatre stage to a smartphone screen, from the largest to the smallest. Has the world shrunk? Is this happiness?
