“A show that prods at what it means to be human.” —The Guardian
A red telephone on a hotel bed. A subway station. A green Mercedes. These vivid images, both ordinary and not, become emblems of heartbreak. In this production from the experimental theater company Forced Entertainment, a man and a woman tell and retell stories, unwittingly finding new ways to remember and forget what really happened. Based on a project by the French conceptual artist Sophie Calle, Exquisite Pain is about love, loss, and the tales we tell ourselves when things go wrong.
Exquisite Pain is a related event for the Walker exhibition Sophie Calle: Overshare (October 26, 2024–January 26, 2025).
Part of Out There 2025.
