FORCED ENTERTAINMENT
ANNOUNCES UK TOUR DATES
INTERNATIONALLY ACCLAIMED COMPANY SET TO TOUR UK WITH REAL
MAGIC AFTER IT OPENS AT EDINBURGH INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL IN
AUGUST
International Ibsen Award-winners Forced Entertainment have today announced UK tour dates for 2017. The company will present their acclaimed new production, Real Magic, at venues across the UK including: Edinburgh International Festival, Cambridge Junction, Platform Theatre, King’s Cross London, mac Birmingham and Manchester’s HOME between August and December 2017.
Real Magic creates a world of absurd disconnection, struggle and comical repetition. To the sound of looped applause and canned laughter, a group of performers take part in an impossible illusion – part mind-reading feat, part cabaret act, part chaotic game show – in which they endlessly revisit moments of defeat, hope and anticipation. Caught in a world of second-chances and second-guesses, variations and changes, distortions and transformations, Real Magic takes you on a hallucinatory journey, creating a compelling performance about optimism, individual agency and the desire for change.
Forced Entertainment have been making ground-breaking work together since 1984, based in Sheffield they present work across the globe.
