Some images from yesterday's premiere of Everything Must Go. You can see the show at @PACT_Zollverein tonight or tomorrow before it tours to @hauberlin.bsky.social , @SpringUtrecht and @Festivaldavignon.
"Something went wrong out there; economy tanked, burned or run to ruins, cities and highways sluiced thick with the mud. People are talking in circles and the circles always, without question, come back to the same place."

We've been deep in rehearsal for the last three weeks - but this isn't the relic of that work - it's the props table for Everything Must Go. We're opening tonight at @PACT_Zollverein - a venue close to our heart which has regularly supported us and our work.
Layering music loops with AI-generated voices, Cold Sweat returns to the lip-syncing mode of Signal to Noise, mapping bodies to the strange rhythms and tonalities that the nonhuman voices produce.

Cold Sweat will be at the Purcell Room, @southbankcentre.bsky.social on 9 & 10 Oct.
This date follows its UK Premiere at @sheffieldtheatres.bsky.social on 2 & 3 Oct.
A shimmering, physical-visual portrait of our present: economies on the brink, cities in ruins, broken hearts, missed opportunities – something has gone terribly wrong in the world out there. Everything Must Go is the third in our trilogy using AI voices and lip sync.
