The Public Theater's American premiere of Gob Squad's BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES is currently in previews and runs through Sunday, November 29, with an official press opening on Monday, October 26. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the company in action below!

UK and Berlin-based Gob Squad's last show at The Public was an Under the Radar Festival sensation. This season, Gob Squad returns with the ambitious and poignant BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES, created over the course of the past two years with 9-14 year olds from around New York City. From behind the safety of one-way mirrors, the audience witnesses seven lives lived in fast forward, from angst-ridden teens to hunched geriatrics. As the children peer into the future and nostalgically back at their recent past, they prepare to leave childhood behind forever. A must-see experience from this internationally acclaimed theater collective. The Belgian version of BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES was produced by CAMPO (Belgium) and premiered in 2011.
BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES features video system design by Gob Squad and Shawn Duan; and performance coaching by Bridget Kelso.
Single tickets, starting at $25, can be accessed by calling (212) 967-7555, www.publictheater.org, or in person at the Taub Box Office at The Public Theater at 425 Lafayette Street.
