Gobsquad's 'Kitchen'

Gob Squad’s Kitchen takes one of Andy Warhol’s films, ‘Kitchen’, as its starting point.
Nothing much happens in the film yet it somehow encapsulates the hedonistic
experimental energy of the swinging sixties. Learning lines was considered ‘old
fashioned’ so the actors just hang around. Sex, drugs and wild parties are referred
to but nothing in particular takes place. As Edie Sedgwick, one of the film’s stars,
says ‘I live my part too – only I can’t figure out what my part is in this movie.’
Gob Squad set themselves the task of reconstructing ‘Kitchen’, despite the fact that
none of them have seen it as the film is unavailable for viewing these days.
How can they get it just right? How do they know if they’re going wrong?
How did people dance in 1965? What did they talk about? Had feminism happened?
Or was it yet to begin?
Gob Squad’s Kitchen becomes a journey back in time and back to the future again.
A quest for the original, the authentic, the here and now, the real me, the real you,
the hidden depths beneath the shiny surfaces of modern life.

“A moving meditation on the nature of self and the unknowability of the past.” The Guardian
