Collage – the insertion of ready-made materials into artworks or texts – is a technique that has been used in all art forms since the experiments of the early twentieth-century avant-gardes and has, in its different shapes, often been used in theatre performances as well. The British theatre group Forced Entertainment provides a contemporary example of a (post-)avant-garde vocabulary that actively borrows from and transforms the practices of their precursors. They employ a palimpsest-like layering of visual and verbal elements, which I will here define as performative meta-collages . In this article, I will discuss their practice and take a look at the ways in which Forced Entertainment’s performative meta-collages verbalize and produce “future” in one of their recent performances, End Meeting for All , which imagines a scenario that takes place “a year and a day” after the beginning of the COVID-19-triggered lockdown in the spring of 2020.

所有人的结束会议：强迫娱乐的表演性元拼贴

拼贴画-将现成的材料插入艺术品或文字中-是自20世纪初期的前卫艺术实验以来已用于所有艺术形式的技术，并且其形状不同，通常在剧院中使用表演也是如此。英国剧院团体“强迫娱乐”提供了（后）前卫词汇的当代示例，该词汇主动借鉴并改变了其前身的做法。他们采用了视觉和言语元素上的最淡淡的分层，我将在这里将其定义为表演性的元拼贴。在本文中，我将讨论他们的做法，并探讨强迫娱乐的表演性元拼贴在他们最近的一场表演《所有人的聚会》中口头表达和产生“未来”的方式。
