Super Night Shot

Gob Squad Arts Collective (Germany/UK)

Running Time: 60 minutes

$20 Tickets: publictheater.org or 212.967.7555

The Public Theater 425 Lafayette Street

Precisely one hour before you arrive, Super Night Shot begins. In a military-style brief, Gob Squad declares a “War on Anonymity” and takes to New York City streets armed with video cameras– embarking on a set of comic and surreal adventures that celebrate unexpected encounters with strangers. You give them a rousing hero’s welcome as they return to the theatre and the footage of the fantastical mission is mixed live into a four-channel, wide screen film.

"A spectacle of breathtaking tension." – Libération

“Fragile and beautiful.” – Le Temps

With support from the Goethe-Institut New York and The British Council. Commissioned by Volksbuehne am Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz Berlin. With research and development funding from the Arts Council of England East Midlands.
