Performa/Dance celebrates its 10th season with Anthropocene, a new dance theater work that interrogates - with equal doses of humor, anxiety, grief, and wonder - how we became comfortable with the end of the world.

Taking a slightly absurdist, wholly penetrating viewpoint, Anthropocene examines, through allegory, humanity’s tendency to put itself dead center at the expense of other life forms through surreal scenes at a beach, in a laboratory, in one disaffected young woman’s fevered monologue, at a family dinner table, and a hospital room.
