‘Theatrical saboteurs’ Doppelgangster (UK/Australia) bring their latest, miraculous work about living in dark times, civil war, and lawlessness.

A duel is about to take place. Welcome, traveller, to the very fictional, medieval town of Cross Roads. You are not yourself anymore, and heed: this shelter can not last.

Two rough grandstands face each other as the KXT-on-Broadway Theatre is transformed into a brutal and deadly jousting arena. Then an arrow whizzes through the theatre. Actors are climbing a siege tower, attempting necromancy, crashing through castle walls. The past is upon us. The Anarchy (1138-53) has begun.

Death is certain. Loot everything.

Galloping in on hobby horses and centaurs, The Anarchy (1138-53) follows the dangerous path of past works: Doppelgangster’s Titanic, Cold War, and Puntila/Matti – which have generated walkouts, physical fights, and cancellations, along with cult followings and critical acclaim. It’s part shocking anticomedy, part historical folk-horror, part pagan ritual, and part psychedelic experiment.
