COLD WAR

Doppelgangster’s

COLD WAR

Part gig, part theatre, part political intervention, this mesmeric two person show – blasts a light on the growing ecological disaster.

A polar bear kills its young: It’s that emaciated polar bear from every article about climate change ever. A dashing pilot crash lands in the Arctic. He’s only got one flare left.  Now they’re stuck together on a sheet of pack ice hoping to be saved. Or maybe they’re just two losers in velvet lounge suits eating snow cones in a cheap Vegas motel room.

Doppelgangster’s COLD WAR is a thrilling, hypnotic, phantasmagoric spectacle from the dusk of the climate crisis. Text-based, postdramatic, political satire, featuring two extraordinary performers, and a violent and anarchic experimental jazz score.

This work will be enjoyed by you if you like: Throwing Bricks Through Windows, Enjoying, and a polar bear eating its young.
