“Unbearably sad yet absurdly optimistic.” ★★★★ The Guardian
“A kind of speculative and imaginative storytelling, beautiful, luminous, and infinitely thoughtful.” ★★★★ The Scotsman
“Exquisitely crafted, humorous yet never facile… Tomorrow’s Parties haunts the thoughts: outstanding.” ★★★★ The Herald
Forced Entertainment’s latest performance imagines a multitude of hypothetical futures. On a makeshift fairground stage, wreathed in coloured lights, two performers speculate about what tomorrow might bring. Exploring utopian and dystopian visions, science fiction scenarios, political nightmares and absurd fantasies, the audience is carried along on a flowing tide of dreams and conjecture. Sometimes collaborative, sometimes competitive the two performers exaggerate, contradict and invent, as their playful suppositions take them in different directions. Tomorrow’s Parties is Forced Entertainment in intimate and comical mode – a playful, poignant and at times delirious look forwards to futures both possible and impossible.
