THE ANTHROPOLOGISTS' SAVE THE WORLD! is a triptych of plays about people who have the capacity to change themselves - and perhaps the world - for better. If only they weren’t selfish, gluttonous, and self-righteous. The Anthropologists fuses explosive anecdotes, absurd interludes and invigorating movement to examine the precarious role of the individual in the age of climate change. A smoker's cessation group resurrects Aldous Huxley, doomsday preppers take on the biggest blackout in NYC history and Russian robots of war occupy our future. ...SAVE THE WORLD is part screwball comedy, part nihilism with a dash of good old American bravado.
The Anthropologists is dedicated to the collaborative creation of investigative theatre. Rooted in research and community engagement and shaped by contemporary dance and physical theatre techniques, they’re committed to exploring current social topics in order to break down and unleash cultural discoveries. Founded in 2008, The Anthropologists have performed at HERE, Dixon Place, The 14th St. Y, The Berkshire Fringe and beyond, and will premiere their newest work this fall as Guest Artists at University Settlement's The Performance Project.
