As of October 31, ALL performances of this show were SOLD OUT due to limited onstage seating capacity. It is possible that some seats may open due to cancellations or holds being released prior to each show date. There is no waitlist, so it is recommended that patrons keep checking online sales each day.

Collectively created by graduate and undergraduate students through a series of devising labs, Anthropocene incorporates innovative media design, dance, movement, text, sound and image into a powerful portrait of our world out of balance. Its non-traditional and non-linear approach to storytelling offers flashes of characters within a mosaic of various worlds throughout history: the Silk Road, the Industrial Revolution, 1950s America to present day. Anthropocene tells a story of the escalation of consumption and how we are hurtling towards an unsustainable future.
