(beyond) Doomsday Scrolling is an original work of feminist epic-theatre about women, war, displacement, and resistance. Set in an imagined theater sheltering women fleeing from wars across time and across the globe, this dramatic
cabaret connects the invasion of Ukraine with the larger landscape of systemic aggression around the world – and centers women in the story of war. Created by AnomalousCo (a predominantly queer/woman-led, feminist, transdisciplinary performance collective), this multilingual, intergenerational, and music-driven show is performed by 12 women and 1 man, from 10 countries: Ukraine, China, Cuba, Moldova, Poland, Russia, Iceland, Turkey, Italy, and the US.
“Truly unlike anything seen in New York in the past decade. This cast–this frigging cast–is the most connected, the most grounded, the most vulnerable, the most impactful I’ve seen in years.” -The Theatre Times
“…the most genuinely, completely political theater I have ever seen. And quite possibly one of the most important pieces too.” – Callie Stribling, Outer-Stage”
“A palpable emotional poignancy […] directed brilliantly by Kathryn Mederos Syssoyeva” – Jim Catapano, Arts Independent
“Truly unlike anything seen in New York in the past decade.” – Rhiannon Ling, The Theatre Times
“Anyone looking for fiery, adventurous theatre should experience (beyond) Doomsday Scrolling.” – Thinking Theatre, NYC
