Synopsis
A beleaguered pair of protagonists take a rollercoaster ride through the decimated remains of contemporary culture in this bleak and comical modern fable. Void Story is performed on stage as a radio play with the actors ‘doing the voices’ and making sound effects. Behind them a series of projected images show the storyboard for an impossible movie version of Tim Etchells’ unsettling text.
Our Review:
16 November 2011
Despite having worked together to make performance for the last 27 years, Forced Entertainment show no signs of creative fatigue. Unusually for a company who appear to have spent a large part of their career dismantling the idea of narrative, their new show Void Story follows the story of Kim and Jackson, a couple attempting to navigate some nightmarish version of our society following being evicted from their apartment.
With four performers behind two desks for the duration of the show, Void Story is in part a radio play. The rudimentary sound effects and unemotional characters voices are all produced live from these stations with the aid of microphones, laptops and a sound board. A large screen at the back of the stage shows projected images of the ‘action’: distressed, black & white graphics that are suitably distorted for such a seemingly dystopian tale.
