Cold Sweat
The Spiel
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 channelling confusion, struggling to articulate desires, dreams and uncertainties, looping their way through speeches and statements that shift between revelation and cliché. Digging deeper into the lip-syncing mode they established in 2024’s Signal to Noise.
