Forced Entertainment: Cold Sweat

About

Cold Sweat is a new theatre work from Forced Entertainment, with original texts and sound from the group’s artistic director Tim Etchells.

Layering music loops with AI-generated voices, we are in play of some kind. Or a TV soap. Fragments of a drama bound together by a mood of emotional and physical overload.

The figures onstage are channeling confusion, struggling to articulate desires, dreams and uncertainties, looping their way through speeches and statements that shift between revelation and cliche.

Digging deeper into the lip-syncing mode they established in 2024’s Signal to Noise, Forced Entertainment’s virtuoso performers map their bodies to the strange rhythms and tonalities that the nonhuman AI voices produce.

The result is an absurd, comical, unsettling and poetic contemporary theatre.
