Doppelgangster are an international performance company, currently creating work in the UK and Australia. Doppelgangster are iconoclastic, politically charged, and not very well behaved. The company’s operations work to critique contemporary issues at local, national and global levels. Doppelgangster responds to urgent concerns such as climate change, forced migration, and corporatism
Current projects include work for unconventional spaces, theatres, and communities; using intimate face-to-face encounters, large scale spectacles, and digital technologies.
Doppelgangster was founded in 2015. Since then the company has presented work in (in this order) Wales, England, France, Singapore, Australia, Greece, Czechia, Latvia, Spain, and online. If you’ve witnessed Doppelgangster it might have been from a shipping container, a carpark, a lane-way, a gallery, a lecture theatre, a town hall, a stage, a converted barn, a cinema, a lawn bowls club, a garage, an old school, a fetish club, on the banks of a river, a back porch, a kitchen, a concrete vault underneath London’s Waterloo station, a former WW2 fascist boot factory, and/or Paris’ Grande Palais.
Doppelgangster are currently a company-in-residence at Sheffield Hallam University. The company’s founding was thanks to the support of organisations such as National Theatre Wales, and an initial company-in-residence (2015-2016) at Aberystwyth Arts Centre. The company has had funding from state, LGI, and private sources, and no-one in the company steals all that often really.
